The product is durable and resilient, capable of withstanding the environmental conditions and structural demands associated with different substrate materials. This ensures long-term fire safety performance.

Maintenance of Building Integrity:

By maintaining fire integrity within cavity walls, AIM Horizontal Fire Closer helps preserve the overall structural integrity of the building. It minimizes fire-related damage and supports the longevity of the construction.

What is AIM Horizontal Fire Closer?

AIM Horizontal Fire Closer is a fire-rated sealing system used to maintain the fire resistance of compartment walls or floors where they are breached by horizontal services such as pipes and cables. It prevents the spread of fire and smoke through these penetrations.

How do you install AIM Horizontal Fire Closer?

Installation involves fitting the AIM Horizontal Fire Closer around penetrations such as pipes or cables passing through walls or floors. It should be securely fixed and sealed according to the manufacturer's installation instructions to maintain its fire rating.

What are the fire protection benefits of AIM Horizontal Fire Closer?

AIM Horizontal Fire Closer effectively seals around penetrations to prevent the spread of fire and smoke. It maintains the integrity of fire-rated barriers, allowing occupants more time to evacuate safely during a fire incident.

How does AIM Horizontal Fire Closer enhance building safety?

By maintaining fire compartmentation, AIM Horizontal Fire Closer enhances overall building safety. It limits the passage of flames, gases, and heat through penetrations, reducing the risk of fire spread and property damage.

Does AIM Horizontal Fire Closer comply with fire safety regulations?

Yes, AIM Horizontal Fire Closer is tested and certified to meet stringent fire safety regulations and standards. It is designed to perform in accordance with local and international building codes.
