Composite Flooring Profiles

1. Fire Barrier: AIM Fire Stop Blocks act as effective fire barriers within composite flooring profiles, preventing the spread of fire through the floors. This is crucial for maintaining compartmentation and enhancing fire safety in multi-story buildings.
2. Smoke Sealing: These blocks also serve as smoke seals, restricting the passage of smoke through flooring profiles, which is vital for maintaining safe egress routes and protecting occupants during a fire.

Dovetail Composite Flooring Profiles

1. Custom Fit: AIM Fire Stop Blocks are designed to fit seamlessly into dovetail composite flooring profiles. Their custom fit ensures that there are no gaps, providing comprehensive fire stopping and maintaining the integrity of the fire barrier.
2. Easy Installation: Their design allows for straightforward installation within dovetail profiles, which simplifies the construction process and ensures that fire safety measures can be efficiently implemented.

Metal Decking, Roofing, and Cladding

1. Versatile Application: AIM Fire Stop Blocks are versatile and suitable for use in metal decking, roofing, and cladding systems. Their adaptability ensures that they provide effective fire stopping in various construction scenarios.
2. Durability: The blocks are made from durable materials that can withstand the harsh conditions typical of external environments, including temperature fluctuations, moisture, and UV exposure. This ensures long-lasting fire protection
3. Compatibility: They are compatible with the materials and structural characteristics of metal decking, roofing, and cladding systems, ensuring that fire safety is maintained without compromising the structural integrity of the building.

General Benefits

1. Compliance with Regulations: AIM Fire Stop Blocks are designed to meet stringent fire safety regulations and standards. Their use ensures that buildings comply with fire safety codes, which is essential for legal and safety requirements.
2. Thermal Insulation: In addition to fire stopping, these blocks provide thermal insulation, contributing to the overall energy efficiency of the building by reducing heat loss through flooring and cladding systems.
3. Acoustic Performance: They also help in reducing sound transmission through floors and cladding, improving the acoustic comfort within the building.

What are AIM Fire Stop Blocks?

AIM Fire Stop Blocks are fire-resistant barriers used to seal gaps and openings in walls, floors, and ceilings, preventing the spread of fire and smoke. They are essential for maintaining fire compartmentation in buildings.

Where can AIM Fire Stop Blocks be used?

AIM Fire Stop Blocks can be used in various applications, including around service penetrations in walls and floors, within cavity walls, and in other areas where gaps need to be sealed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke.

How do you install AIM Fire Stop Blocks?

Installation involves placing the fire stop blocks into gaps or openings that need to be sealed. They should be fitted snugly and, if necessary, sealed with fire-rated sealant to ensure maximum fire resistance. Always follow the manufacturer's installation guidelines.
