Firestops or fire-stopping material refers to a form of passive fire protection that provides a seal around openings and joints in a fire-rated wall, floor or ceiling assembly or to seal gaps around fire-resisting constructions. Fire stopping prevents unprotected horizontal and vertical penetrations from creating a path for fire and smoke to spread throughout a building.

Designers and specifiers should be aware of the various firestopping solutions available on the market, including:

• intumescents;
• cementitious mortars;
• firestop pillows;
• fire-resistant collars for pipes;
• high density mineral wool;
• sealants; and
• wraps.
