Building regulations outline the need for buildings to be divided into compartments, and specify the level of fire performance the compartment walls and floors need to achieve in order to preserve both building structure and life through fire and smoke containment. In most buildings, mechanical and electrical services breach compartment walls and floors allowing potential failure of fire integrity and insulation to occur where gaps around services have not been adequately or correctly fire stopped.
