PREVENTATIVE STRUCTURAL FIRE PROTECTION
Structural fire protection in accordance with DIN 4102 is of crucial importance in protecting buildings and the people in them from the devastating consequences of fires. This standard specifies the requirements for building materials and components with regard to their fire behavior and thus provides a clear guideline for the planning and implementation of safe building structures.
As specialist planners, we are available to you as a competent partner not only for the implementation of construction measures, but also for the planning and design of fire protection measures in advance. In close cooperation with our customers, we develop cost-effective solutions that are ready for acceptance, even in structurally difficult situations.
Our dedicated Team of experienced experts offers you comprehensive services to optimally protect buildings from the dangers of fire and smoke.
SERVICES
In addition to planning, our services include the following structural fire protection measures:
Cuff penetration seals
If it is certain that a combustible cable with a diameter of 32 mm or more will penetrate a certain component, it is necessary to use a penetration seal. Fire protection sleeves are the preferred choice here. They are characterized by simple installation and are approved for a wide range of installation situations, which ensures their functionality.
To ensure functional safety, it is crucial to seal the annular gap between the penetrated component and the pipe so that it is smoke-tight. This effectively prevents cold air from escaping from the fire compartment into neighboring areas.
Mortar penetration seals
Fire protection mortar, also known as mortar penetration seals, are used to seal cavities in building structures. In this way, various pipes and ducts can be effectively protected against the effects of fire. These include, for example, the mortaring of cables, air and air conditioning ducts, fire dampers, pipes and fire protection sleeves for plastic pipes.
Pipe penetration seals
Pipe penetration seals must be designed in such a way as to ensure that fire and smoke cannot be transmitted through ceilings or walls traversed by pipes over a certain period of time. The principle of penetration sealing ensures that a fire cannot spread from the side exposed to the flame to the side not directly affected by the fire. At the same time, the passage of fire and smoke is prevented both through the cladding of the pipes and through the pipes themselves.
Soft penetration seals
Soft penetration seals, also known as soft bulkheads, are an extremely versatile method of fire sealing. It offers short installation times and makes it possible to seal almost any shape and size of opening. It also has good acoustic properties and allows simple subsequent installations. The constructions can be implemented in both walls and ceilings and comply with VKF standards.
Cable bulkheads
To ensure the power supply to buildings, cables are laid through walls and ceilings to form a network. Where these cables cut through fire compartments, penetrations must be properly sealed to prevent fire and smoke from spreading to other compartments. Cable penetration seals are available in various materials and fire resistance classes (S 30 to S 120) so that they can be adapted to the respective environment and the corresponding fire resistance.
Promat solutions
In order to minimize the risk of fire in safety-relevant areas such as escape and rescue routes, it is necessary to provide fire protection for electrical cable and pipe routes that are not used for their own power supply. Furthermore, ducts and pipes must also be fitted with appropriate fire protection cladding.

FIRE PROTECTION IS NOT A LUXURY.
Preventive structural fire protection in accordance with DIN 4102
Effective measures for your safety
Preventive structural fire protection plays a crucial role in protecting human life and preserving material assets. An essential standard in this context is DIN 4102, which defines specific requirements and test methods for building materials and components. In this article, you will learn more about preventive structural fire protection and the importance of DIN 4102.
Why is preventive structural fire protection so important?
Fire protection measures are essential to save lives and minimize damage in the event of an emergency. Preventive structural fire protection starts here by taking targeted measures to prevent or at least delay the start and spread of fires. This leaves sufficient time for evacuations and the deployment of emergency services.
DIN 4102 as a guideline for fire protection
DIN 4102 is a central standard in preventive structural fire protection. It specifies requirements for building materials and components with regard to their fire behavior. This includes classifications with regard to flammability, smoke development and fire behavior. Compliance with this standard is not only a legal obligation, but also a contribution to the safety of all building users.
Measures according to DIN 4102
-
Observe fire protection classes: DIN 4102 divides building materials into different fire protection classes. It is crucial to select materials with the appropriate classifications according to their use in construction.
-
Fire protection calculations: The standard also requires calculated values for fire protection, which should be carried out by experts. These calculations help to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the fire protection measures used.
-
Intelligent room concepts: DIN 4102 also emphasizes the importance of intelligent room concepts. Escape routes, fire compartments and a suitable choice of materials play a key role here.
Conclusion
Preventive structural fire protection in accordance with DIN 4102 is not a luxury, but a necessity. The standard provides clear guidelines to ensure that buildings meet the highest standards of fire protection. Investing in preventive measures pays off in an emergency and can save lives. Rely on experts to meet the requirements of DIN 4102 and create a safe environment.
Your protection is our priority.
