Intumescent Ceiling Fan Fire Stop

The Intumescent Ceiling Fan Fire Stop from Astroflame is a steadfast solution for securing your ceiling fan installations against fire spread. Available in 100mm and 125mm diameter options, it is specially designed to firestop the penetration made by the installation of a recessed ceiling fan.

This fire stop works by way of the intumescent lining inside expanding in the presence of extreme heat. Meaning that in the event of a fire, the lining expands and seals off the opening, firestopping the ceiling layer and maintaining the fire rating of the construction. It also has a 30 minute fire rating to back up this functionality.

If you have recently installed a ceiling fan in your building, there is a high likelihood that you will need to firestop the penetration to be within building regulations and restore your fire rating. This is because, when a hole is made for a ceiling fan, the ceiling and/or floor construction’s integrity is reduced significantly, which compromises the construction’s fire rating in the process.

The Fire Stop has a steel mounting ring and duct connector built into it, so it should be able to be fixed into the ceiling and have the fan installed into it as normal. It is silver in colour, fitting in well with most modern constructions, and has an impressive working life of 48 years, as well as being designed to resist common harsh weather conditions, such as UV rays, rain, and frost.

So, if you have concerns about the structural integrity of your ceiling/floor construction and want to maintain your building’s fire rating following the installation of a ceiling fan, then this Intumescent Ceiling Fan Fire Stop from Astroflame is for you.
