Fire Dampers

Specialists Fire Damper Inspections, Reports & Schedules

Fire dampers are essential components of fire safety and protection measures, serving as barriers between fire-resistance-rated walls and floors to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through ductwork or ventilation systems.

To optimise their efficiency, regular inspection and maintenance are vital. With decades of experience, you can trust our team of highly qualified technicians to ensure your fire dampers are correctly installed and maintained in optimal condition.

What are the various types of fire damper?

When considering the right type of fire damper for your specific environment, there is a wide range of options available, such as Static and Dynamic Fire Dampers, Curtain Fire Dampers, Single-blade or Multi-blade Fire Dampers, Combined Fire and Smoke Dampers, and Smoke Only Dampers, coming in a range of fire performance ratings. The selection of the damper depends on what is required to satisfy the integrity or fire resistance of the fire compartment in which it is contained, and the overall fire strategy of the building, so it’s crucial to ensure that the duct and damper design, procurement, installation, and inspection meet expected requirements in the event of a fire.

Fire Damper Inspection

All buildings with fire dampers should maintain a comprehensive inventory detailing the type and location of each damper, along with documentation of their regular inspections and maintenance.

Prior to occupancy, it is a requirement that all dampers installed in a building undergo testing and be inspected under normal operating conditions within one year of installation and then annually. We would recommend that fire dampers located in a dust laden environment be tested more frequently based on the level of pollution.
