Why do you need Fire Compartmentation

Fire Stopping Regulations for Educational Institutions

According to the 2020 amendments to the Building Regulations Act 2010 (Fire Safety, Volume 1: Dwellings), buildings must prevent fire spread through internal linings while ensuring:

  • Structural integrity is maintained.
  • Adequate spacing prevents fire spread.
  • Automatic fire suppression is installed where required.
  • Fire and smoke spread in cavities is limited.

Adaston’s expertise ensures your educational project is equipped with first-class passive fire protection solutions that adhere to the above. We prioritise safety, compliance and quality to safeguard future occupants whether that be staff or students. Contact us to discuss your requirements.
