Fire barriers are structural elements designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke between different areas of a building. They are typically made from fire-resistant materials and are used in walls, floors, and ceilings to create safe zones. This helps protect occupants and allows for safe evacuation during a fire. These barriers are essential in meeting building codes and safety regulations. They are often found in commercial buildings, such as hospitals, hotels, and office complexes, where large numbers of people may be present. Proper installation and maintenance of fire barriers are crucial for effective fire protection.
