Complete Fire Protection Systems

Reduce Risk, Protect Assets, and Maintain Compliance

We provide both fireproofing and firestopping solutions to protect structural components, seal penetrations, and maintain fire-rated assemblies across your facility.

Fireproofing

Protect Structural Components from Heat and Fire Exposure

We provide fireproofing solutions designed to protect structural steel and critical building components from high temperatures during a fire.

  • Intumescent fireproofing (expands under heat to protect surfaces)
  • Cementitious fireproofing (spray-applied for structural protection)
  • Fireproofing spray applications for industrial and commercial systems

Firestopping

Prevent Fire and Smoke from Spreading Through Your Facility

Firestopping systems are essential for sealing penetrations and joints, helping contain fire and smoke within designated areas.

  • Joint firestopping
  • Fire caulking for penetrations and gaps
  • Firestopping systems and fire barrier systems
  • Fire safing for wall and floor assemblies

Wall & Curtain Wall Insulation Systems

Maintain Fire Ratings Across Walls and Facade Systems

We install fire-rated insulation systems designed to maintain the integrity of walls, curtain walls, and building envelopes.

  • Curtain wall insulation systems (maintain fire ratings and limit vertical fire spread)
  • Cladded facade wall insulation (enhances fire resistance and protect exterior assemblies)
  • Rigid fiberglass board insulation (supports fire-rated systems with durable performance)

Complex Projects Deserve Straightforward Solutions

We make even the toughest jobs easier with expert guidance and tailored support from start to finish.

Understanding Where Protection Is Needed

Key Areas That Require Fireproofing and Firestopping Systems

Proper installation ensures your facility remains compliant, reduces risk, and is prepared for inspection.

  • Wall and floor penetrations for piping, conduit, and cable systems
  • Structural steel requiring fireproofing protection
  • Expansion joints and gaps between building materials
  • Curtain wall and exterior wall assemblies
  • Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) system openings
