Can Firestop Systems Be Used to Address Gaps Around Fire Door and Fire Window Assemblies?

Ryan Kolodetsky and Matthew Winston
Reading time: < 10 minutes
Firestop systems cannot be used to address gaps around fire door assemblies or fire window assemblies. Gaps around fire door and fire window frames should instead be resolved through the applicable opening protective listing, manufacturer’s installation instructions, NFPA 80 requirements, or direct guidance from the door/window assembly manufacturer.

What is the Difference Between Mechanical vs. Adhesive Post-Installed Anchors?

Cara Green
Reading time: < 10 minutes
Mechanical anchors transfer load by friction, bearing, or mechanical interlock and can be loaded immediately after installation. Adhesive anchors transfer load through bond between the anchor, adhesive, and base material, offering greater flexibility in embedment depth, diameter selection, and edge distance requirements and cannot be immediately loaded.
