Fire Rated Floor Expansion Joints

Fire barriers are a critical component of building safety solutions.

Fire rated floor expansion joints.

Nystrom s fire rated deck compression seal is a silicone bellow system designed with a 2 hour fire retardant saturated foam. We ve designed our systems to fit any project s needs and provide superior protection to keep the threat contained. Fire rated expansion joints that waterproof insulate block sound handle traffic and movement in a single product. Often this is a government or authority requirement.

An expansion joint that runs through a building may interrupt a fire rated assembly. Expansion joints and construction sealants. Per current building codes these joint assemblies must be tested at an. The main difference between fire barriers and fire stops is the allowance for movement.

Fire retardant floor and deck foam. Our industry leading fireline 520 expansion joint fire barrier products provide protection for 2 3 and 4 hour rated conditions. Emseal s manufacturing plants are open and operating at full capacity. The dih series is designed for expansion joint openings with the ability to provide a smooth and virtually impact free transition between opposing floor surfaces in addition to accommodating heavy rolling loads and multi directional seismic movement.

When these joints occur in a fire rated floor or wall a product or system must be used that has been rated to that same level. Lateral shear movement option available. Fb 17 has been tested and proven to provide up to 3 hour fire endurance rating for floor joints and up to 2 hour rating for wall joints minimizing smoke passage. Building expansion joint slab and wall openings inherently create a pathway for fire and smoke to travel through.

Balco fire barriers protect expansion joint openings by dynamically continuing the fire rated construction design elements throughout the structural separation allowing for thermal wind and seismic movements and for fire ratings up to 4 hours. To maintain the integrity of the interrupted fire rated assembly and prevent the spread of fire a fire barrier or fire stop should be used. Available in 10 lengths and engineered for simple splicing.
