Firehalt Downlighter Covers maintain the fire protection performance of the ceiling

FireHalt^®Downlighter covers have been developed to provide maximum protection for holes created by the introduction of a downlighter and to allow for ease of fitting. In a fire situation, the cover expands internally to fill all the available space with a fire resistant, highly insulating char.

The fire is unable to penetrate the hole and the cover gives additional insulation protection to the ceiling void by reducing the possibility of heat build up and ignition of flammables, such as accumulated dust and insulation.
