\nPassive Fire Stop Systems\n<\/h1>
\nEngineered detail solutions compliant with EN and UL standards

Passive fire stop systems are one of the most critical components determining a building's fire performance. Correct design and installation of these systems not only limits the spread of fire, but also guarantees the building's compliance with international standards.

We base our passive fire stop solutions on internationally recognized fire regulation and test systems such as EN (European Norm) and UL (Underwriters Laboratories). \n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/section>

\nWhy Passive Fire Stop Systems? \n<\/h2>
\n

Fires are far more common and can have far more fatal consequences than we tend to think. On average, 3.8 million fires occur worldwide every year, resulting in approximately 45,400 deaths (Source: CTIF \u2013 World Fire Statistics 2016)<\/i>.<\/p>

However, one of the most critical facts about fires is this:<\/strong>
Most fire-related deaths are not caused directly by flames, but by smoke and toxic gases. Studies show that approximately 75% of fire deaths result from smoke exposure (Source: NFPA)<\/i>.<\/p>

Even more striking is this:<\/strong>
57% of people who die in fires are not found in the room where the fire started, but in other areas where the fire spread. (Source: NFPA Fire Protection Handbook)<\/i>. This clearly shows what a major risk the uncontrolled spread of fire represents.

The dense smoke generated during a fire severely reduces visibility. Approximately 47% of survivors are unable to see beyond 3.5 meters. This makes it harder for people to find escape routes and makes evacuation time critical.<\/p>

The Role of Passive Fire Stop Systems <\/h4>

This is precisely where passive fire stop systems come into play.<\/p>
