FIRE STOPPING
MAKE M&O PART OF YOUR FIRE PREVENTION PLAN
When seconds count, smart fire prevention makes all the difference. M&O’s fire stopping services create invisible barriers that can save lives—sealing the pathways that fire and smoke use to spread through your building and giving occupants precious time to escape safely.
STOP FIRE IN ITS TRACKS
Fire stopping is your building’s silent guardian. We strategically seal openings and gaps to prevent both lateral and vertical fire spread, containing flames to their origin point. Whether installed during construction or retrofitted to existing buildings, our passive fire protection systems work 24/7 without power, maintenance, or human intervention.
COMPLIANCE MADE SIMPLE
The 2005 NEC (Article 300.21) requires that electrical penetrations through fire-rated assemblies be properly fire stopped to maintain ratings. We ensure your building meets all code requirements while maximizing occupant safety.
HILTI ACCREDITED EXCELLENCE
We’re proud to be HILTI Accredited—an honor shared by only 120 companies nationwide. This elite certification gives us access to cutting-edge education, industry updates, and safety protocols that keep us at the forefront of fire stopping technology.
Your fire prevention plan isn’t complete without proper fire stopping. Let’s build your safety strategy together.
There are three elements of Fire Stopping:
Firestops create intelligent physical barriers that block flames, toxic smoke, and deadly gases from spreading through openings created during building upgrades or system installations. Whether it’s electrical, plumbing, communications, or ventilation work, we ensure every penetration becomes a fire-resistant seal that protects lives and property.
FIRE STOPPING PARTITIONS
Fire stopping joints between critical elements like compartment walls and floors maintains unbroken fire resistance throughout your building. Our fire partition walls strategically subdivide rooms and floors with vertical assemblies that extend seamlessly from floor to ceiling, creating compartmentalized safety zones.
SMOKE BARRIERS
Smoke barriers are specialized fire barriers designed to stop smoke’s deadly spread—both vertically and horizontally. We follow strict International Building Code (IBC) standards: barriers require minimum one-hour fire-resistance ratings, while partitions need at least 30-minute ratings. Every facility benefits from these protective systems, especially high-occupancy buildings and industries handling volatile materials where explosions and rapid fire spread pose serious threats.
From hospitals to manufacturing plants, our fire stopping technologies create the protective infrastructure that saves lives when every second counts.
