1. What is firestopping?
Firestopping is a crucial construction practice that involves sealing openings, joints, and penetrations in walls, floors, and ceilings to prevent the spread of fire, smoke, and toxic gases within buildings and structures.

2. What are some example of permitted end product?
Fireproofing is essential for construction projects to enhance the fire resistance of structural elements, such as steel beams and columns.
