Riser shafts that run vertically through a building are often identified as potential fire routes in FRAs.  Compartmentalisation between floors has traditionally been achieved by putting horizontal breaks inside the riser. However, these are breached whenever a new pipe or wire is installed (often being resealed with the universal ‘pink foam’).

The Riser FireSeal is fitted over the front of the riser to form a fire rated vertical barrier. This is much less susceptible to disturbance and its integrity can be checked at a glance in future assessments.

• Designed and tested to provide at least 60 min fire resistance (EN1364 and EN1366 tests) to riser openings and maintain compartments between floors in buildings
• Riser FireSeal – Fire Rated Vertical Barrier
• A fire tested alternative to horizontal compartmentalisation

The Riser FireSeal is fitted over the front of the riser to form a fire rated vertical barrier (>60 min resistance in the EN1364 and EN1366 tests) and isolate the riser from the rest of the building.
