Setting the standard in Fire Protection — Premium Firesolutions is Atlantic Canada’s first ULC-Certified Firestop Contractor, leading the way in Life Safety through expert firestopping solutions that prevent the spread of fire and smoke before it starts.
We’ll assess the building's fire protection needs, considering factors such as building codes, occupancy type, fire rating requirements, and specific fire hazards present in the building.
Based on the assessment, we’ll design a firestopping plan that includes the placement of fire-rated materials such as fire-resistant barriers, sealants, sprays, wraps, and other firestopping products.
Our highly trained Firestopping contractors will install the designed fire protection systems according to the plan. This involves applying fire-resistant materials to penetrations such as pipe and cable penetrations, ductwork, electrical outlets, and other openings in walls, floors, and ceilings.
Firestopping involves sealing openings in fire-rated walls, floors, and ceilings with fire-resistant materials to prevent the spread of fire and smoke, thereby protecting building occupants and minimizing property damage.

Firestopping is beneficial for commercial buildings in multiple ways:
Life Safety: Firestopping prevents fires from spreading, providing occupants with more time to evacuate safely.
Property Protection: It minimizes fire damage by limiting flames and smoke in the area of origin.
Code Compliance: Firestopping ensures that buildings comply with fire safety regulations, preventing penalties and legal problems.
Insurance Requirements: Insurance policies often mandate the use of proper fire protection systems, and firestopping can aid in meeting these requirements and potentially reducing premiums.
Business Continuity: Businesses can recover faster and experience less disruption to operations by minimizing fire damage.

System Design: They design a plan for firestopping that stipulates where fire-resistant materials should be placed.
Installation: Fire-resistant barriers, sealants, wraps, and other materials are installed by trained professionals around openings such as pipes, cables, and ductwork.
Testing and Certification: To ensure that systems meet fire ratings and comply with regulations, firestopping contractors carry out tests.
Maintenance and Inspections: They provide ongoing maintenance and inspections to keep the fire protection systems functional.
