Commercial buildings are built to specific standards for safety, especially
with regard to fire safety. Interior walls have a "firestopping"
rating- that is, they are rated by the amount of time it would take
a fire burning on one side of a wall to break through to the other
side. You can imagine how important this is, especially in the case
hospitals or other public buildings. The
problem is, when a part of the wall is cut away - for instance, to
pass air conditioning ducts, cable runs or pipes., the broken wall's
firestopping rating is reduced dramatically. STI builds engineered
firestopping systems which solve that problem, in some cases actually
improving the firestopping rating of the original wall.
These highly effective systems are difficult to show in-place, where
the application would be most easily understood by a potential customer.
To help understand how these applications work and how they are installed,
we created this 3D cutaway illustration featuring all the current
STI products in place. The illustration is both a useful sales tool
as well as an effective teaching aid. STI staff can easily direct
a customer to the full-page illustration in their printed guidelines
manual to point out features and benefits of the particular firestopping
installation.
