Penetration Sealing

Fire Batts for Service Penetrations

Fire batts are high-density mineral wool fire stopping boards used to help restore fire resistance where building services pass through compartment walls and floors.

They are commonly supplied with an ablative or fire-resistant coating and are cut to fit around cables, pipework, ductwork and other permitted services.

The batt, sealants, coatings and associated penetration products should be installed as part of the relevant tested system.
