Electrical Fire Stopping

Electrical devices can be fire hazards in themselves, and, whilst standards have improved, they are still liable to overheating or aiding the spread of fire through not being fire resistant. Using fireproof covers for downlighters and appliances in walls and ceilings helps the effectiveness of a fire barrier, preventing flames and smoke from penetrating through surfaces as quickly, giving more time for evacuation and potentially saving spaces from damage. Less damage means minimal downtime for businesses, smaller bills for renovation and a faster re-opening.

At Rawlins Paints we stock an extensive range of fire-stopping products designed for electrical applications; cable sleeves to help prevent combustion of cables and wires, melting in fire and spreading flames, whilst intumescent pillows and putty pads fit inside trunking and gaps around services to expand in fire and seal up any gaps to stop smoke and flames advancing. Gaskets for electrical sockets help restrain advancement of fire through plug sockets and fittings in plasterboard, and you can protect expensive Electrical Consumer Units and switch boxes from fire damage with our collection of fire-stopping accessories.
