What is Compartmentation & Why It Matters

What is fire compartmentation?

Benefits of compartmentation

Fire compartmentation is the method of dividing a building into enclosed, fire-resisting zones (compartments) so that fire and smoke are contained within a defined area, slowing spread to adjacent parts.
It underpins passive fire protection — unlike active systems (alarms, sprinklers), it works without needing activation or intervention

Life safety: gives occupants more time to evacuate safely.
Protect escape routes / means of egress: keeps corridors, stairwells, lobbies intact from fire intrusion.
Limit property damage: confines fire to its compartment of origin, reducing loss.
Support firefighting: easier for fire services to control a fire contained within compartments.
Regulatory & insurance compliance: demonstrates due diligence under UK building/fire regulations and may influence insurance terms.

FIRE BARRIERS

Fire Barrier Systems are used to inhibit the spread of flames, heat and smoke through concealed spaces such as roofs and ceiling voids.

CAVITY BARRIERS

The regulation requires that buildings have measures in place to control the spread of flames.
Fire cavity barriers do just this – they help to divide and compartmentalise concealed cavities so that the fire is contained.
This helps to keep the fire in a single compartment rather than spread rapidly.

Our Boarded Fire Protection systems offer excellent protection and the correct level of protection for your needs.
