Fire protection for air ducts

Preventing fire and smoke spread during emergencies

Fire protection for air ducts is a mandatory fire safety requirement for buildings and structures.
✔ It prevents flames from spreading via ventilation.
✔ It slows heat transfer and protects structures from overheating
✔ It maintains smoke extraction functionality
✔ It minimizes the concentration of hazardous carbon monoxide during emergencies.

Regulatory document:
SP 7.13130 (fire resistance limit EI 15–EI 150 depending on the ventilation type and smoke removal calculation).

Fireproofing Treatment Methods for Air Ducts

  1. Thermal insulation materials
  • Basalt mats and foil-clad sheets
  • Self-adhesive fire-resistant sheets
  • Advantages:устойчивость к высоким температурам
  1. Thick-film compounds
  • Fire-resistant plasters and mastics
  • Mineral wool coatings (slabs, mats)
  • Advantages:high protection (up to EI 150)
  1. Thin-film fire-resistant paints
  • When exposed to fire intumescent paints form a fire-insulating layer
  • Advantages:simple application, rapid installation, suitable for complex configurations
  1. Combined systems
  • Integration of thermal insulation, soundproofing, and thick-film materials
  • Advantages:maximum efficiency

Duct fire protection costs

The final price is determined by several key factors:
✅   Material type (paint, plaster, basalt mats)

✅   Required fire resistance rating (EI 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150)

✅   Installation complexity (curved ductwork or work at height)

✅   Area coverage (price decreases for larger areas)

Why entrust fireproofing to professionals?

  • Complex duct geometry requires precise application across the entire surface of ductwork.
  • Inaccurate application reduces the fire resistance of the system and the building's fire safety
  • Improper procedures can cause coating peeling and defects, leading to disastrous consequences during an emergency.
