| Penetration sealing refers to the process of sealing any holes, gaps, or openings created in a building's structure, typically by pipes, cables, ducts, or other services passing through walls, floors, or ceilings. These penetrations, if not sealed properly, can compromise the integrity of fire barriers, soundproofing, and even energy efficiency.
In short, penetration sealing ensures that the structure’s fire-resistant barriers and other protective systems function as intended by preventing unwanted airflow, water intrusion, or fire spread.
When it comes to maintaining a building’s safety and integrity, one often-overlooked yet critical component is penetration sealing. Whether you’re designing a new structure or ensuring your existing building remains safe and efficient, proper sealing can make a huge difference in fire safety, energy efficiency, and long-term durability. |
