Passive Protection – Active Advice (PPAA) Explained

At Nullifire and Carboline, we know that passive fire protection is about more than just products , it’s about knowledge, guidance, and compliance.

That’s why we’ve launched Passive Protection – Active Advice (PPAA), a brand-new content series designed to give you clear, practical answers to the most common questions we receive around:

  •  Fire stopping
  •  Intumescent coatings
  •  Spray-applied fire protection

Whether you’re an architect, contractor, or installer, our technical experts are here to support you with the guidance you need to build safely, stay compliant, and protect lives and property.

Why PPAA matters

Passive fire protection systems are often the silent protectors of a building, designed to slow the spread of fire and provide vital time for evacuation and emergency response. But products alone aren’t enough. To work effectively, they need to be correctly specified, installed, and maintained — and that’s where active advice makes the difference.

Through PPAA, we’ll be sharing practical insights, FAQs, and expert guidance over the coming weeks, helping you make confident, informed decisions for your projects.

Hannah Eyres, Technical Manager at Nullifire,  explains the Passive Protection – Active Advice (PPAA) concept clearly:

“Passive fire protection forms the backbone of building safety, but products alone aren’t enough. With Passive Protection – Active Advice, we’re bridging that gap by giving architects, contractors, and installers the clear guidance they need to use these systems effectively. It’s about pairing trusted solutions with trusted advice ensuring fire safety is built in from the specification through to installation.
