The Fire seals are set up with the aim of Sealing linear openings at ground or wall level. Seal systems or Fire Beads are designed to prevent the spread of fire and the spread of smoke and toxic gases.

Without these adapted and fire- and smoke-tight protections, the safety of the building would not be ensured.

Building professionals and caulking specialists use sealants that are registered and comply with Quebec standards.

A caulking in the safety rules

We are committed to working only with high quality joints/sealants and make them insulating and waterproof.

Laying the fire seal

Before the joint is installed, the caulking experts

• they carefully clean the area to be treated and the perimeter of the surfaces.
• they get rid of any traces of mortar, cement or other elements that could alter the adhesion of the product.

Once the surface is clean and clean, a fire-resistant wool is put in place, thus preceding the sealing.

The implementation of firewall joints must be done in a homogeneous manner by combining aesthetics and technique. Indeed, in a building, the firewalls are visible and visible, so it is best to ensure that they are perfect and harmonious to the eye.

In the final phase, professionals undertake an adhesion test to verify the quality and resistance of the joint on the material. Underwriters Laboratories of Canada offers real-world situations to recreate exposure conditions similar to a building fire that is fully engulfed in flames. A fire door is a Security feature that can save lives, and in this area the professional caulkers do not skimp on the means implemented.

Quebec standards for firewalls are met.

In Quebec, the Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ) has published a Installation Guide relating to fire dampers. This guide is intended for building professionals, inspectors and caulkers, experts in the installation of fire seals.

The National Building Code of Canada requires firestop systems that meet the following ULC standards: CAN/ULC-S115. The purpose of these standards is to prevent the spread of fires through joints and structures.

Since 2006, at the European level, a standard has also defined the test conditions for fire seals and a standard introduces the classification of type EI gaskets expressed in minutes in the field of flame and gas resistance.
