What Are Fire Dampers?

Fire dampers are fire-resisting devices installed within ductwork where it passes through fire-rated walls, floors, or compartments. In the event of a fire, the damper activates to seal the duct, maintaining the integrity of the fire compartment.

Fire dampers must:

  • Be correctly specified for the application

  • Be installed in accordance with tested manufacturer details

  • Be accessible for inspection and maintenance

  • Be routinely tested and certified

Why Fire Damper Compliance Matters

  • Non-compliant or poorly maintained fire dampers can:

  • Allow fire and smoke to spread rapidly

  • Compromise compartmentation and escape routes

  • Result in enforcement action by fire authorities

  • Cause failure at Building Control or insurance audits

  • Regular inspection, testing, and maintenance ensures your building remains safe and legally compliant.
