Commercial Firestopping in Chicago & Surrounding Areas

Fires are always a risk for any type of property. Beyond sprinkler systems and alarms, firestopping helps prevent the further spread of a fire. If you work on commercial properties, it’s vital to provide firestopping services.

Firestopping systems are an integral part of any commercial building. Northwest Insulation can provide the materials and expertise you need. Our team can discuss your needs and recommend the appropriate products.

Types of Firestopping

An effective firestop system combines a range of materials to achieve a designated fire-resistive rating. Firestopping can include:

• Insulation
• Fire blankets
• Caulking and sealants
• Intumescent coatings

Northwest Insulation works with builders, architects and property owners throughout the Chicago area.

Effective, Code-Compliant Firestopping for Your Project

National and local fire codes require firestopping materials to be installed in commercial buildings. All penetrations in fire-rated assemblies must be properly protected. Spaces like walls, floors and elevator shafts need to be sealed to help prevent the spread of smoke and fire.

No matter the type of properties you work on, Northwest Insulation has you covered. We provide materials for a wide range of properties, including:

• Large commercial developments
• Office buildings
• Warehouses
• New commercial construction
• Industrial buildings
• Retail centers

Where Is Firestopping Required?

Firestopping is required in different areas of a building depending on local and national fire codes. It’s often a requirement in any penetration or joints where fire and smoke could spread and cause further damage.

Pipes or cables inside a wall that exit through another wall are a perfect example of where firestopping may be required.

Our team can guide you to the products you need. We’ll make sure you have the right materials and knowledge to install proper firestopping for your clients.
