Firestop & Passive Fire Protection ServicesMANYCON CONTRACTING COMPANY – Saudi Arabia
Advanced Firestop Solutions for Head-of-Wall Joints, Expansion Joints & Wall-to-Floor Interfaces
Manycon Contracting Company – Saudi Arabia offers expert installation of Top/Head of Wall Firestop Systems, designed to seal linear gaps between non-loadbearing walls and structural slabs or roof assemblies. Our firestop solutions are fully compliant with Saudi Civil Defense, UL, and ASTM standards, providing critical compartmentation in commercial, residential, and industrial buildings across Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Khobar, and beyond. We ensure life safety by stopping fire and smoke from traveling through unsealed construction joints—one of the most vulnerable pathways in a fire scenario.
What is a Top of Wall Firestop System?
A Top of Wall Firestop System seals the gap between a fire-rated wall (gypsum, block, or concrete) and the structural element above (concrete slab or roof deck). These gaps, if left unprotected, become channels for rapid fire and smoke spread. Our firestop systems maintain required fire-resistance ratings (1–3 hours) while allowing for building movement, thermal expansion, and seismic flexibility.
