Fire barriers

Your shield against fire & smoke!

Discover the crucial importance of fire barriers for safety in modern buildings!

A power you can rely on

Fire barriers are specialized structures that have been developed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke in buildings. They are essential for passive fire protection systems and are used in various applications to separate critical areas and thus ensure the safety of people and property.

properties

Easy and adaptable

Exceptional features for an indispensable protective shield in the fight against fire and smoke.

Fire resistance ability

Fire barriers consist of fireproof materials that offer high temperature resistance.

Easy installation

Fire barriers can be easily integrated into existing building structures.

smoke tightness

They effectively prevent smoke from spreading, which is crucial in many cases of fire.

regulations

They comply with all relevant fire protection regulations and standards.

Why it's important

Indispensable benefits

In the event of a fire, they gain valuable time to evacuate people and minimize damage to the building fabric.

Maintaining escape routes

Fire barriers secure escape and rescue routes by preventing fire and smoke from entering these areas, making evacuation easier for residents and employees.

Fire Department Support

By slowing the spread of fire and smoke, fire foreclosures enable firefighters to combat dangerous situations more effectively and keep people safe while increasing their own safety.

Economic efficiency

In the long term, fire barriers reduce insurance and repair costs, as they help to minimize damage and losses in the event of a fire.

Added value for real estate

A good fire protection infrastructure, which includes effective fire insulation, increases the value of a property because it firstly protects potential buyers and tenants from risks and secondly shows that safety standards are being met.

Sophisticated

properties

  • 1

    fire safety barrier, They are made from fire-resistant materials that can withstand a specific temperature and duration of the fire and form separate fire sections to prevent the fire from spreading.

  • 2

    seals and seals, In areas where pipes, cables or conduits penetrate walls or ceilings, special gaskets made of fireproof materials are used.

  • 3

    fire resistant blankets, These blankets are made from special fire-resistant materials, such as plasterboard, to minimize the vertical spread of fire.

  • 4

    smoke bulkhead, In large open spaces, smoke vents control airflows, retain smoke and prevent it from spreading, protecting escape routes and important areas.

areas of application

Where security meets architecture

office building

To ensure safety in large office complexes.

industrial plants

In production facilities where fire risks are higher.

Public institutions

In schools, hospitals and shopping centers to protect visitors and staff.

residential buildings

To protect against the spread of fire in apartment buildings.

Technical

Breakthrough features

Many modern fire barriers are equipped with intelligent sensors that enable continuous monitoring and react automatically to the development of fire or smoke.

modular structure

The flexibility of the modular design makes it easy to adapt to various building styles and requirements, so that fire barriers can be easily integrated into almost any building.

energy efficiency

In addition to fire protection, they also contribute to the energy efficiency of buildings by minimizing heat loss.

longevity

They are optimised for a long life and high resistance to environmental influences. They are made from advanced, fire-resistant materials that can withstand extreme temperatures and provide exceptional protection.

Sustainable construction

Many fire barriers are designed to be sustainable and promote environmental friendliness through the use of recyclable materials and a long lifespan, which serves both environmental protection and economic benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Wo sollten Brandabschottungen installiert werden?

Sie werden typischerweise in kritischen Bereichen wie Leitungs- und Kabeldurchführungen, Lüftungsschächten und anderen Öffnungen eingesetzt.

Wie oft sollten sie inspiziert werden?

Es wird empfohlen, Brandabschottungen regelmäßig, mindestens einmal jährlich, zu inspizieren, um sicherzustellen, dass sie ordnungsgemäß funktionieren.

Können sie in bestehenden Gebäuden nachgerüstet werden?

Ja, Brandabschottungen können in den meisten Fällen leicht in bestehende Baukonstruktionen integriert werden. Ebenso können sie an die spezifischen Anforderungen und Einschränkungen in historischen Gebäuden angepasst werden.

Wie wird die Wirksamkeit von Brandabschottungen getestet?

Die Wirksamkeit kann durch regelmäßige Inspektionen und Funktionstests überprüft werden, um sicherzustellen, dass die Bauteile ihre schützende Funktion im Brandfall erfüllen.

Beeinflussen Brandabschottungen die Lüftungs- und Klimaanlagen?

Brandabschottungen können in Lüftungssysteme integriert werden, um die Luftzirkulation sicherzustellen, während gleichzeitig der Brandschutz gewahrt bleibt. Dies erfordert jedoch spezielle Planung und Technik.

What are the most common materials used for fire barriers?

Commonly used materials for fire insulation include plasterboard, mineral building materials, fireproof sealants and special fire protection panels.
