Benefits of Fire Mortar Compound
Openings through floors can be sealed with loadbearing mortar to provide a solid platform with up to 4 hours protection from fire spread.
Fire Protection
Mortar seals vary in thickness dependant on the fire rating requirement. Seals must be of a certain thickness to achieve a load bearing capacity. Additional strengthening rods can be added to the mortar if required, due to size.
Load Bearing
A solid, lightweight, fire rated shutter is used to form a base in the required opening. Then a mortar is mixed on site and poured onto the shutter to a depth of 75-100mm, depending on the required fire performance. Once cured this provides a fire rated, load bearing platform to enable operatives to work on.
Cost-Effectiveness
Compared to a traditional shutter and concrete pour, the mortar system is much more cost effective and more suitable for dealing with service penetrations.
