Passive Fire Protection for Student Accommodation

Our expert team has extensive experience working with student accommodation prioritising the safety of staff and students while providing industry-leading passive fire protection solutions. Recognising that student accommodation is commonly above 11 or 18 metres in height and thus subject to additional stringent regulations, we are committed to ensuring compliance by closely collaborating with our clients to meet all required standards.

Given that many student accommodations are high-rise buildings, we understand the additional complexities these structures present, especially when it comes to fire safety. High-rise buildings require specialised fire protection strategies to prevent the spread of fire and ensure safe evacuation routes. At Adaston, our solutions are designed to meet the unique challenges posed by multi-storey living, providing enhanced protection for both the building and the occupants within.

Adaston ensures that student accommodations across the UK stay fully compliant with fire safety regulations. Our expert team provides a wide range of passive fire protection products to help you meet these essential standards. In line with the 2020 amendments to the Building Regulations Act 2010 on Fire Safety for Volume 1: Dwellings, buildings must effectively prevent the spread of fire through internal linings while adhering to additional requirements, including:

• Preventing premature structural collapse
• Ensuring sufficient spacing between buildings and within buildings to limit fire spread
• Providing automatic fire suppression where necessary
• Limiting the spread of fire and smoke within cavities

These regulations and their amendments outline the correct procedures for implementing fire stopping measures. Our team is here to guide you through this process, ensuring your project receives the highest level of fire protection.
