What does fire compartmentation involve?
Fire compartmentation helps to contain a fire and prevent it from spreading within a building.
This is achieved with fire-rated materials and similar protection measures, which effectively “seal” a space, slowing the passage of flames and making it difficult for the fire to spread to other areas.

Compartmentation systems to maximise safety
Fire compartmentation is about so much more than reducing the spread of flames through your business.
It’s about mitigating damage, salvaging resources, and most important of all, ensuring safe evacuation routes for you, your staff and your visitors.
Building regulations often stipulate that a robust fire compartmentation strategy is required to meet minimum safety standards, while insurers will also want to see that you’re doing the utmost to protect physical assets on site.
FAQ's
What is an example of fire compartmentation?
Fire compartmentation is a holistic solution to ensure effective fire safety within buildings. It may involve the installation of partitions, walls, or fire-safe doors and windows, each designed to contain flames and smoke and mitigate the risk of widespread damage and injury.
What is the main objective of fire compartmentation?
Fire compartmentation is designed to limit the spread of fire and smoke through a building. This is achieved by installing solutions that help create individual fire-sealed compartments within a building, so if a fire starts in one room it’s unable to spread to another.
What does a fire compartmentation survey involve?
A fire compartmentation survey is an assessment to determine the fire safety equipment required to seal spaces within a building and ensure they’re fire-safe. A fire safety engineer will consider your building’s existing structure, layout, and fire evacuation plan, before recommending solutions that will mitigate fire risk and prevent the spread of smoke and flames.
