Fire Rated Duct Wrap
What is Fire-Rated Duct Wrap
Fire-rated duct wrap is a flexible, non-combustible insulation system used to help prevent the spread of fire through ductwork that passes between fire-rated compartments. It’s especially suitable for systems where the use of fire dampers is impractical or non-compliant, such as kitchen exhaust ducts or continuous ventilation systems.
At HALT FIRE, we supply and install fire-rated duct wrap systems that are tested and compliant with New Zealand Building Code Clause C3 and relevant standards. We focus specifically on fire resistance, not smoke control, and ensure all work is backed by proper QA and documentation.
Why Use Duct Wrap Instead of Dampers
Fire-rated duct wrap is commonly used when fire dampers:
- Would obstruct airflow (e.g. in kitchen exhaust systems)
- Are difficult to maintain or access
- Do not suit the duct type or fire separation layout
- Would create hygiene or cleaning issues in grease-laden ducts
In these cases, duct wrap provides a passive fire protection solution that allows continuous ductwork to remain operational while achieving required fire ratings.
Common Applications
- Commercial kitchen exhaust ducts
- Ducts passing through multiple fire compartments
- Vertical risers and return air shafts (where fire containment is needed)
- Retrofitted fire protection to existing ductwork
