The First Line of Defence

When fire strikes, it spreads fast! Whilst active fire protection systems such as smoke detectors, sprinklers and extinguishers are essential in fighting a blaze, passive fire protection systems are the first line of defence. Made up of structural elements, such as walls and doors, along with sealants and coatings, these systems contain and slow the spread of smoke and heat without the need for manual intervention.


To ensure your Nowra property is properly protected during a fire and that it meets all compliance requirements, contact Pasiv Fire. We provide comprehensive passive fire protection services from consultation and installation through to certification, testing and maintenance.

Key Components of Passive Fire Protection

Fire-Resistant Materials: Using fire-resistant materials for walls, floors and ceilings in buildings is essential for passive fire protection. These materials are designed to withstand high temperatures and prevent the rapid spread of flames.


Compartmentalisation: Fire barriers like firewalls and fire doors are strategically placed within a building to compartmentalise it. These barriers help to contain fires and smoke, creating safe zones for occupants as well as protecting escape routes from damage.


Fire Dampers & Seals: Installed throughout the ductwork, dampers close shut when the temperature reaches a set point to stop the spread of fire and smoke. Fire seals are used to seal gaps or joints in walls, floors and doors, preventing fire and smoke from passing through these openings.


Intumescent Coatings: One of the most innovative forms of passive protection, intumescent coatings are applied to structural elements. These coatings expand when exposed to heat, forming an insulating barrier that helps preserve the building’s integrity during a fire.


Fire-Resistant Glazing: Windows are a weak point when it comes to the spread of fire throughout a building. Fire-resistant glazing helps to mitigate this, providing visibility and an added barrier against fire and smoke.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are "bushfire attack levels" (BAL) and how do they relate to passive fire control?

    Bushfire Attack Levels (BAL) are used in Australia to assess the risk of bushfire damage to buildings. Passive fire control measures can align with BAL ratings by using fire-resistant materials, fire-rated windows and sealing gaps to prevent ember entry during bushfires.

  • Are there specific Australian standards that passive fire system components must adhere to?

    Yes, there are Australian standards, such as AS 1530 series and AS 4072 series, that detail the testing methods and performance criteria for fire-resistant materials and components. Compliance with these standards ensures that passive fire systems meet the required safety standards.

  • Do intumescent coatings require regular inspections and maintenance?

    Yes, intumescent coatings require periodic inspections to ensure their continued effectiveness. Over time, coatings may degrade due to environmental factors or physical damage. Regular maintenance and touch-ups are essential to keep the coatings in optimal condition.
