Sealing the gaps that fire and smoke travel through
Wherever pipes pass through fire-rated walls and floors, they create openings — and fire and smoke will use them. Firestopping is the work of sealing those penetrations and joints with tested materials so the wall or floor keeps its fire rating. It’s life-safety work, and it’s required by the building code.
Metro Insulation Inc. provides mechanical firestopping for high-rise residential construction across Toronto, the GTA, and Ontario. Our crews seal mechanical penetrations to project specifications, coordinate with mechanical and other trades on busy high-rise sites, and document the work so it stands up to inspection.
