Cable penetration seals

Why cable penetration seals are important

• Protection of human life: Cable penetration seals minimize the risk of injury and death in the event of fire by preventing the spread of fire and smoke through cable and pipe penetrations.
• Protection of material assets: Cable penetration seals help to protect your building and equipment from damage caused by fire and smoke, especially in areas where cables and pipes are laid.
• Safeguarding business operations: Effective fire protection planning with high-quality cable penetration seals can reduce downtime after a fire and speed up the resumption of operations.
• Compliance with laws and regulations: Cable penetration seals help to ensure that your building complies with all relevant laws and regulations, particularly with regard to fire protection in cable and pipe penetrations.
• Value retention: Solid fire protection planning with durable and reliable pipe penetration seals can preserve the value of your property in the long term.

Choosing the right cable penetration seal

The choice of the right cable penetration seal depends on various factors:

• Type and use of the building: A residential building requires different pipe penetration seals than an office building or an industrial plant.
• Art der Leitungen: The type of cables and pipes (e.g. power cables, data cables, water pipes) plays an important role in the choice of suitable insulation.
• Fire resistance class: Depending on the requirements of the building, cable penetration seals with different fire resistance classes (e.g. EI30, EI60, EI90) are required.
• Material and construction: Cable penetration seals must be made of suitable materials and be professionally constructed in order to fulfill their function in the event of fire.

Types of cable penetration seals

There are various types of cable penetration seals, which differ in their properties and areas of application:

• Cable penetration seals: They prevent the spread of fire and smoke through cable ducts.
• Pipe penetration seals: They prevent the spread of fire and smoke through pipe penetrations.
• Combination penetration seals: You combine cable and pipe penetration seals in one solution.

Costs for cable penetration seals

The cost of pipe penetration seals depends on various factors:

• Number and type of cables: The more lines there are and the more complex the requirements, the higher the costs.
• Fire resistance class: Cable penetration seals with higher fire resistance classes are generally expensive.
• Material and construction: High-quality materials and special designs can increase costs.
• Assembly and installation: Professional assembly and installation by specialists may incur additional costs.
