FAQ’s

Firestopping is needed where there are gaps or holes in the building. These can let fire spread. Key areas include walls, floors, ceilings, and around pipes, wires, and ducts. Any hole where something passes through can let fire travel. Firestopping materials, like foam or sealants, block these gaps. In California, firestopping is especially important because of wildfires. Local rules require firestopping in places like elevator shafts and between floors. This helps stop the fire from spreading fast and gives people time to escape.

Firestopping, fireproofing, and fire escaping all help with fire safety, but they do different things.

  • Firestopping blocks gaps where the fire could spread, like around pipes or wires.
  • However, fireproofing makes materials, like steel or concrete, stronger and more resistant to fire.
  • Fire escaping makes sure there are safe ways to leave the building in case of fire. This includes clear exits and stairwells.

    In California, all three are needed to meet fire safety rules, especially in areas at high risk for wildfires.

There are three main types of fire protection: active, passive, and structural.

  • Active systems need to be turned on to work. These include sprinklers, alarms, and fire extinguishers. They help put out fires and warn people.
  • Passive protection stops fire from spreading. This includes fire-resistant doors, walls, and seals around pipes. They keep smoke and flames in check.
  • Structural protection makes the building stronger in a fire. This includes fireproof coatings on steel and fire-resistant floors and ceilings.

    Each type is important for safety. California law requires fire protection in all new or updated buildings.

Estimating firestopping means finding where it’s needed and calculating the materials and work required.

  • First, check the building plans for holes, gaps, or joints in fire-resistant walls or floors. Sealing these will ensure their safety.
  • Next, figure out how much firestopping material, like sealants or blocks, is needed.
  • Also, calculate the labor cost for applying the materials and preparing surfaces.
  • The estimator may use software to measure the areas that need sealing.
  • Make sure to follow California’s firestopping rules.

Estimating fireproofing for steel and wood is different because the materials react to heat in different ways.

  • Steel needs fireproofing to stay strong in heat. This is usually a spray-on coating or fireproof board. The amount needed depends on the area and thickness.
  • Wood needs special treatments to stop it from catching fire. These are sprays or coatings. The amount depends on how much wood there is and how much it absorbs.

    Steel needs stronger fireproofing, while wood needs lighter treatments. Both must meet California’s fire resistance standards.
