HOUSEBUILDERS

Passive Fire Protection in residential buildings

Passive Fire Protection products and measures are equally important in low to medium-rise dwelling houses, such as semi-detached homes, terraced houses, townhouses and apartments as they are in multi-storey developments.

Mitigate fire spread risk with our housebuilders product range

The risk of fire spread exists when electrical and mechanical services are installed through walls, ceilings and floors or an open path within concealed cavities is left unprotected. This can result in a serious reduction in the fire resistance rating and the ability of the structure to limit and resist fire spread.

HOUSEBUILDERS

Compliance in construction

Tenmat passive fire protection products are designed to assist Housebuilders in addressing these issues and to meet the requirements of Building Regulations Approved Document B where it is stated that:

“Cavities in the construction of a building provide a ready route for the spread of smoke and flame, which can present a greater danger as any spread is concealed.”

“The performance of a fire-separating element should not be impaired. Every joint, imperfect fit and opening for services should be sealed.”

“Cavity barriers should be provided at… the junction between an external cavity wall and every compartment floor and compartment wall”.
