Firestopping
Prevent the spread of fire and smoke—protect buildings, assets, and lives.
At Purple Cow, firestopping isn’t just a box to tick—it’s a critical safety measure we take seriously on every project. We use a comprehensive, code-compliant approach to prevent the spread of fire, smoke, and toxic gases through service penetrations, joints, and voids in walls and floors
How We Do It
Our firestopping solutions are built on three core principles:
1. High-performance materials: We use industry-leading, tested fire-resistant systems suited to each project’s unique requirements.
2. Skilled, trained installers: Our team is continuously upskilled to meet evolving standards and product specifications.
3. Tailored solutions: No two sites are the same. We work closely with clients to understand their needs, risks, and building systems—then design a firestopping strategy that’s both efficient and fully compliant.
What Sets Us Apart
While we follow proven systems and best-practice methods, our strength lies in how we adapt those systems to the realities on site. From early coordination with other trades to detailed QA processes, we make sure firestopping is integrated smoothly and effectively into the build—not tacked on at the end.
Proven Quality
Our firestopping work has consistently passed inspections with flying colours. While we’re grateful our systems haven’t faced a real fire event, the approval rates from independent fire engineers and building inspectors speak for themselves.
