Fire pillows, also known as intumescent pillows, expand and swell when exposed to heat, creating a barrier that stops the spread of fire. They’re filled with intumescent additives and organic fillers inside a reinforced waterproof glass cloth bag.
Fire pillows can be placed centrally within a wall or floor to stop the fire from spreading where the fire-resisting compartment has been penetrated.
Our fire pillows are available in a number of shapes and sizes, making them ideal for ongoing construction projects. The intumescent pillows are even available to purchase in bulk-packs to help you save money when working on a big project.
Once installed, intumescent pillows do not need to be replaced unless they have been exposed in an event of a fire. Otherwise, they’re able to be refitted or replaced when necessary.
