Description:
H.B.S. Inc. has been in business since 2005 with a combined firestop experience of 9 years. HBS Services Inc. provides firestop installation to General Contractors and Subcontractors who build in the commercial industry. What is firestoppping you may wonder? Firestopping is an integral part of fire protection engineering. Firestop Systems protect against the passage of flames, deadly gases and toxic smoke through openings that are created for penetrations, joints and gaps in fire-resistive walls, floors and floor/ceiling assemblies. The integrity of fire-rated assemblies is restored by firestop systems. Building codes require third-party tested systems to be installed whenever fire-rated construction is compromised by such openings. This will help prevent the injury and or death related incidents to the occupants who are in the building during a fire as well as minimize the damage caused to the building by fire, smoke and water.
