Exceptional passive fire protection services

Over 30 years combined construction industry experience

We're dedicated to providing exceptional passive fire containment services critical to the construction industry. Firestop systems are a critical safeguard against the spread of heat, fire or smoke through breaches in floors and walls. Our expertise can help you select and install a firestop system to protect breaches made for penetrations and joints of fire-resistance-rated wall and horizontal assemblies.

Owners, architects, engineers, inspectors, and/or fire marshals are requiring certified companies and their employees to properly select and install firestop systems on their projects. This is where we can help.
