CASWELL FIRESAFE® systems are classed as Passive Fire Protection and protect against the spread of fire from one compartment to another. It provides this assurance without the need for enclosures, spray or fabric coverings or an excess of fire / smoke dampers.
CASWELL FIRESAFE® systems are also used for smoke control; in which case passive fire systems must operate under fire conditions. It can be used to quickly and safely exhaust smoke and, as an integral part of a pressurised system, prevent it from entering protected fire escape routes to maximise valuable escape time.
