Firestopping protects buildings and people

Building safety is the sum of many factors. Firestops prevent the spread of fire, heat, smoke, and other toxic gases within buildings. When properly implemented, firestops provide more time for fire prevention, save lives, and reduce property damage.

Suomen Palokatko ja Saumaus Oy offers a comprehensive range of firestop services.

Firestop design and expert services for properties of all sizes

New construction and renovation projects progress at a rapid pace and require specialized expertise from the supplier.

Our experienced specialists have over 20 years of expertise in firestop design and installations for various construction projects.

High-quality and cost-effective firestopping requires careful and timely planning. Developing a functional and reliable firestop plan requires familiarization with the property. Only in this way can we ensure a firestop that truly prevents the spread of fire, heat, and gases between compartments—minimizing damage caused by fire.

Challenges may arise at different stages of construction, often requiring tailored firestop solutions or site-specific approvals. This ensures functionality already at the planning stage.

Suomen Palokatko ja Saumaus Oy delivers comprehensive firestop design services. We work closely with designers and material suppliers on a continuous basis.

All firestop work with strong expertise

In our firestop solutions, we only use products and working methods that are approved and certified in Finland. A safe and high-quality result is achieved by following the manufacturer’s instructions and by working in close cooperation with the firestop designer. Installations carried out by Suomen Palokatko ja Saumaus Oy always follow the firestop plan. Our employees’ skills are constantly updated to ensure the use of the latest and most effective working methods at your site.

We document firestopping as the work progresses by photographing it, marking locations on the building’s floor plans, and labeling structures with approved firestop identification plates. Project-specific information can also be added to the documentation. Site management and clients have the opportunity to monitor the progress of both the work and documentation in real time. For documentation, we use the Hilti Firestop Documentation Manager software, which will be upgraded during 2024 to the industry’s latest solution, Hilti Fieldwire.

Technical support for construction sites

We provide support in structural fire protection issues for developers, main contractors, and installation teams. If needed, we can assign an expert to the project. Our specialist discusses, guides, and advises all parties to find the best and most cost-effective solution.

Our technical support department offers quick, practical, and solution-oriented responses for fire safety structures. Our expertise is based on over 20 years of experience in the field. Do not hesitate to contact our technical expert!

We guarantee that the wheels will start turning effectively according to the project’s requirements! Cost-efficient and feasible structures are always our main goal.

Firestop survey identifies fire safety risks in a property

TWe also carry out firestop surveys to assess the current condition of firestops, the functionality of fire dampers and fire doors, as well as the state of fire protection and fire-resistant structures. The survey includes a review of fire compartments and their interfaces.

Throughout a building’s lifecycle, it undergoes many changes. After such modifications, fire safety may become uncertain. Our goal is to make it as easy and cost-effective as possible to use a firestop specialist.

From the survey, both the client and the property owner receive a written report with photographs. We also mark any deficiencies on the building’s floor plans. In addition to the survey and report, we can provide an offer for corrective actions if required. Our Hilti Documentation Manager system, which we use for documentation, has received much praise and positive feedback from our clients.

A convenient maintenance agreement helps you stay up to date and keeps critical sites protected.
