Firestopping is the use of fire-resistant seals to maintain the integrity of passive fire protection systems and block fire and smoke from spreading. All firestop systems for fire-rated construction need to be reproduced on the plans as tested by an approved testing laboratory. Therefore, the installer must be experienced to deliver safe and secure projects.
