Learn about passive fire systems, fire compartmentation, penetration sealing, fire doors and passive fire compliance throughout buildings across Christchurch and Canterbury.
Why Passive Fire Matters
Protecting Buildings & Saving Lives
Passive fire protection systems are designed to slow the spread of fire and smoke throughout buildings, helping protect occupants, escape routes and property.
Throughout Christchurch and Canterbury, passive fire systems form part of the overall building fire safety strategy and are critical to maintaining fire compartmentation performance.
Fire-rated walls, floors, ceilings, fire doors and penetration sealing systems all work together to create compliant fire compartments throughout a building.

Fire Compartmentation
How Passive Fire Systems Work
Buildings are divided into fire compartments designed to slow the spread of fire and smoke.
When services such as pipes, cables or ducts pass through fire-rated walls or floors, those openings must be properly protected using tested fire stopping systems.
Defective penetrations, damaged fire doors and unsealed openings can compromise compartmentation performance throughout a building.
