Here at Fire Immunity, we offer expert fireproofing specialists in Bristol and the surrounding South West areas. We specialise in fire barriers and acoustic sealing services for a range of different industries. Fire barriers, also known as cavity barriers or cavity fire barriers, are one of the most popular methods to protect buildings from fires. They are specifically designed to restrict the movement of fire within a building. Additionally, acoustic sealing prevents sound from travelling through your building, while simultaneously preventing the spread of flames and smoke, thus keeping your building and all occupants safe.

An in-depth fire risk assessment performed by expert fire risk assessors is not just a recommended fire protection policy for domestic and commercial buildings, it is a legal requirement in fire safety legislation. Here at Fire Immunity, we offer expert fire-first assessment services performed by our highly experienced team whose job it is to ensure everyone on your premises is safe. We provide our fire prevention services across a huge range of locations such as business premises, care homes, blocks of flats, HMO properties, retail outlets, warehouses, and so many more.

It’s important to understand that any fire protection service has to be regularly scrutinised and inspected so therefore the simpler the service the better quality of fire protection you might have. Steel protective boards consists of many different steps consisting of metal rails, various compounds and fixings such as screws, glue & fillers. For this service, we usually find that is better suited to a building project that has a higher budget and can afford to have extra personnel to check each application as not one person can check every part. However, the actual part of applying this service is, in fact, quick and doesn’t disrupt other Jobsite activities.

Saying that we cannot stress how effective this passive protection service can be in protecting steel beams and other steel structures. A typical fire protection board is usually made of a mineral (calcium silicate or calcium sulfate) reinforced with fibers and fillers. Some boards, in addition to providing fire protection, were also further reinforced for durability, specifically for resistance to humidity and freeze-thaw.

As a result, boards have a strong advantage of being produced in a controlled environment, with strict tolerances for relevant properties, including thickness.
