What is a containment/compartmented space?
Firestop systems were developed to produce a containment/compartmented space, restricting fire, smoke and gases from entering the protected area. These spaces are protected by fire-rated wall and floor assemblies. All penetrations, gaps and joints in the assembly are sealed with tested and listed firestop systems to return the integrity to the rated wall or floor system.
