Fire protection of buildings
and System firestops
Complete installation of firestop penetrations, inspections, and maintenance.In compliance with legislation and system certifications.
We are not just a material distributor - we provide full implementation, including installation and documentation.
We ensure the fire integrity of your building.
Firestopping is used to ensure the fire resistance of structures penetrated by installations such as cables, pipes, and HVAC systems. The purpose of firestops is to prevent the spread of fire, heat, and smoke between fire compartments for a specified period.
At TOPSAFE, we implement firestops exclusively using certified systems with valid classification reports in accordance with ČSN EN 1366-3 and related standards. Our solutions meet the requirements of the fire safety design (FSD) and applicable legislation (ČSN 73 0810, Government Regulation No. 23/2008 Coll.).

Why entrust the implementation to professionals?
Most Common Mistakes
Unsuitable material instead of a certified system
Incorrect application (wall vs. ceiling, different type of penetration)
Mixing materials from different manufacturers invalidates certification
Missing inspection tags and entry in the fire protection logbook
Our Solution
We use certified systems and apply them according to protocols.
We select the appropriate system based on the structure and type of penetration.
We do not mix manufacturers, preserving certifications.
We provide complete documentation: tags, protocols, and records.
FAQ
A firestop is a system measure designed to seal openings where building services (cables, metal or plastic pipes, HVAC ducts) penetrate fire-resistance-rated structures (walls, ceilings). Its primary purpose is to restore the integrity of the structure and prevent the spread of fire, smoke, and heat to adjacent fire compartments for a specified period (e.g., 30, 60, or 90 minutes).
Firestop installations may only be carried out by a trained person holding a valid certificate from the manufacturer of the specific certified system. After installation, the installer must issue a completion certificate and label the firestop with an identification tag.
The choice of material depends on the type of penetrating installation and the required fire resistance.
The most commonly used materials are:
Firestop sealants and coatings: For small gaps and cable bundles.
Intumescent (expanding) tapes and collars: For plastic pipes that collapse under heat, allowing the collar to seal the opening.
Mineral wool boards with coating: For large penetrations with a combination of different installations.
Firestop mortars and foams: For solid and rapid sealing of openings.
Each completed firestop must be clearly labeled with an identification tag in its immediate vicinity.
The tag must include:
Type of firestop and the system used
Fire resistance rating (e.g., EI 90)Date of installation
Name and contact of the company or person who performed the installation
Optionally, the identification number of the firestop according to the project documentation
According to the fire prevention regulation, the operational check of firestops (as a fire safety device) must be carried out at least once a year, unless the manufacturer or project documentation specifies a shorter interval. The inspection must be performed by a certified technician. Firestops must also be checked whenever there is an intervention in the installations (e.g., adding a new cable).
