Air Sealing & Fire Stopping Services

Air Sealing & Fire Stopping Services
Air Pressure Testing Ltd has undertaken Air and Fire Sealing on all types of buildings from Hospitals to large schools since 2003 to help achieve improved customer comfort and ensure protected enclosures are adequately sealed to facilitate the correct retention times. Since the new Part L Building Regulations were introduced in 2002 APT Sound Testing have become heavily involved with a comprehensive service from initial air barrier design reviews and on-going construction site surveys to the final air testing, this provides you a one stop solution for all of your air leakage and fire integrity sealing and testing requirements.

In terms of the air barrier design, it needs to be continuous around the whole envelope, this includes; floor, roof & walls. The components that make up the air barrier needs to be durable and maintainable in the long term. The air seal line can be drawn on construction drawings, showing the physical barrier that make up the airtight envelope of the building.

The maintainable aspect is extremely important for fire enclosure testing as there may be on-going service penetration updates, which will require quick effective repairs to ensure the air fire barriers on-going integrity.
