Fire Rated Ductwork

The team here at Allducts are well versed in all the latest regulations surrounding the manufacturing and installation of fire-safe ductwork and other fire-resistant ventilation products.

Allducts has partnered with FireTrace Ductwork Ltd, suppliers of the CASWELL FIRESAFE® ductwork system, to bring our clients tried-and-tested passive fire protection solutions that have been certified for use in commercial ventilation applications.

Fire resistant ductwork installations are best suited to smoke extraction systems in commercial kitchens that do not exhaust directly to the outside of the building. They are also commonly used in car parks and communal areas to ensure the safe removal of smoke from the premises in the event of a fire.

CASWELL FIRESAFE® ductwork has been approved by both the Building Research Establishment’s RedBook Live and the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LCB), making it one of the most trusted fire rated products in the ventilation industry.

This non-coated galvanised steel system offers up to four hours’ stability and integrity, and two hours’ insulation. It’s also suitable for use within pressurised systems (Classes A, B or C). View more technical details here.

As with our standard ductwork, our fire rated ductwork can be supplied in standard or bespoke specifications. We work closely with our clients to ensure all our fire rated ductwork installations are not only fit for purpose, but also adhere to all the relevant industry standards, including BS 476 Part 24: 1987, BS 5588 Part 9, DW 144 and DW 172. Recommendations and guidance will be provided at every stage of the installation, leaving no stone unturned.

We follow the procedures set out by FireTrace to make sure all systems are installed correctly, then inspected and signed off with a certificate of conformity. As a company, we undergo regular audits to ensure our methods remain fully compliant.
