To provide the proper fire insulation, the sheffield insulation companies often recommend using the Coated Batts. These coated Batts are tested to the harmonised Standard EN 1366-3 and have proven to perform as a penetration seal offering up to 120 minutes of fire resistance (E120)
Rockwool Ablative Coated Batts helps in ensuring that the masonry walls, concrete floors and drywall systems are resistant to fire by incorporating various services that work by filling out the blank loopholes.

Cavity Barriers-
The cavity barriers are other techniques that help sustain fire accidents. These techniques include filling the building with cavity barriers that act as a fire-resistant wall. These barriers also restrict and obstruct the flames of the fire from engulfing the entire building. We are the best Insulation and the dry lining has an array of cavity barriers that helps in insulating the buildings against fire hazards.
-
Fire Collars-
Fire collars are a kind of fire insulating technique that provides fire insulation and resistance against fire. These are required at the places where walls or the floors of the building are penetrated with the building services like the pipework, cable ducts, and many more. In case of accidents, flames of the fire find a way to escape. Fire collars like the Rockwool Firestop Pipe collars and Palm collars that have been tested according to the regulations of BS476 pt 20 or the EN1366-3 are available.
Another such insulation offered by our company is the Mulcol Multicollar slim. These have a stainless steel band and high-quality inlay on a graphite basis. It comes as a 30 mm high universal fire collar.

Sheathing Boards-
The sheathing boards are the panels that are used when constructing the walls of the building, and also the flooring and roofing. These panels act as a surface that helps other materials get the insulated base and fire resistance.
Sheathing boards provide mechanical resistance, water permeability, and durability against the changing after-effects of the weather like heat and rain.
-
Fire Protection Boards-
The fire protection boards offer a fireproof boarding to the construction and insulation materials that are often used when constructing the covers for the fireplaces. These are the lightweight materials that were traditionally made from the woods.
Fermacell fire boards are made from recycled paper, giving it the feature of a cellulose fire reinforcement that provides impact resistance for high traffic areas.
-
Sleeves and wraps
The sleeves and wraps are another such fire safety equipment that provides a sleeve with a thermal insulator that encases the wiring, transmission lines, and brakes.
The Multi Wrap is a CE-certified, environment-friendly, waterproof, and halogen-free graphite-based self-adhesive wrap. It can be used on both the rigid as well as flexible walls and floors and the firestop boards. Its reaction to fire is Class F per EN 13501-1 and is tested following EN 1366-3.
-
Vent Ducts-
According to an article by Energy saver, the vent ducts often leak out heated air into the unheated spaces, and this results in increasing the heating and cooling bills. But you can reduce the extra costs induced by merely insulating the vent ducts.
-
Soft lining-
Soft lining materials are proving to be a better fire insulator. These materials provide fire resistance and achieve the desired characteristics of barrier fabric and soft furnishing.
-
Structural steel protection-
When constructing a building, one needs to look out for insulating the building from the structure itself. As we all know, steel is durable and acts as a fire-resistant material when adequately designed. The steel framing has the potential to protect the building in case of fire hazards and exposure to temperatures that are elevated than usual.
Now that you have come across the essential fire insulating methods, are you still worried about which company to look forward to that offers the best brands that will cover all your needs and give you’re surrounding the protective, insulated shield that will help you fight off the fire hazards?
Fire protection is a well-known company that provides the best protection against fire. They offer fire protection from brands like Rockwool, Mulcol, AIM, Tenmat, MDL FireZero, British Gypsum, Firehalt, Fermacell that are the best in the fire protection business.
