FireStop Slab – Mineral Wool – Commercial & Residential Fire Safety

Product Overview

The 75mm FireStop Slab provides exceptional firestopping, thermal, and acoustic performance for building applications. Each pack covers 2.6 m², offering a high-density, non-combustible solution specifically designed for use at the junctions of compartment walls and floors. It is engineered for curtain walling and cladding interfaces, offering proven fire resistance and dimensional stability under load and temperature exposure.

Features & Benefits

• Non-combustible Performance: Achieves Euroclass A1 reaction-to-fire rating, providing up to 60 minutes' fire integrity and insulation.
• Thermal and Acoustic Control: Delivers consistent insulation and sound absorption through its mineral fiber composition.
• Dimensional Stability: Maintains thickness and density under heat, ensuring fire seal integrity.
• Ease of Installation: Semi-rigid format allows for a compression fit without adhesives or mechanical fixings.
• Durability: Resistant to moisture, rot, and vermin, retaining properties throughout the building's life.

Applications

• Curtain Walling: Ideal for installation at perimeter floor slab junctions, providing up to 60 minutes of fire containment.
• Compartment Walls and Floors: Suitable for fire-stopping in masonry, steel, and concrete structures.
• Perimeter Barriers: Used to close gaps between floors and façades in multi-storey buildings.
• Cavity Closures: Effective for sealing voids where medium fire resistance is required.

Installation Guidance

• Preparation: Ensure cavities or joints are clean, dry, and free from debris before fitting.
• Cutting: Use a long-bladed knife or insulation saw for accurate trimming and a tight fit.
• Compression Fit: Insert the slab under slight compression to ensure a complete seal across the gap.
• Protection: Keep slabs dry before installation and protect them from weather exposure.
