Understanding the Purpose
of Fire Compartmentation
Fire compartmentation is vital for slowing the spread of fire and smoke, protecting lives and property. It seals gaps in building elements with seals that create fire barriers. Professional installation is crucial; poor execution can compromise safety. This practice became important in the 1970s, especially in facilities housing vulnerable populations needing extra evacuation time.
