fire caulking | FIRE RATED CAULKING
Fire-rated caulking is a critical component in ensuring fire safety and compliance in buildings. Specifically formulated to resist high temperatures and flames, fire-rated caulking creates a protective barrier that helps contain fire and smoke within compartments, preventing its spread to other areas of the building.
By sealing gaps and penetrations in fire-rated walls, floors, and ceilings, fire-rated caulking helps maintain the integrity of fire barriers, allowing occupants more time to evacuate safely and firefighters more time to contain the blaze.
Additionally, fire-rated caulking helps prevent the passage of toxic gases and heat, further enhancing the fire resistance of building assemblies. Ensuring the proper installation and maintenance of fire-rated caulking is essential for meeting building code requirements and protecting lives and property in the event of a fire.
