Fire Protection

Voids and gaps within buildings often need to be subdivided or closed to control the movement of smoke and flame in the event of fire.

Detailed requirements are complex and must be defined by designers in individual cases. however, four general principles of containment may be identified:

• Interconnection of cavities, or of cavities and rooms must be prevented.
• Smoke and flame must be prevented from by-passing fire-resisiting materials.
• Individual cavities or voids should not exceed certain dimensions.
• Imperfections of fit between building elements intended to resist fire must be fire-stopped.

These requirements are met by various materials, defined in the buildings regulations as cavity barriers and fire stops.
