Why Architects and Contractors Choose Nullifire as Their Go-To Supplier for Fire Stopping Solutions

Lisa Trafford / 06 November 2025

In a world where building safety is under greater scrutiny than ever, architects and designers carry a heavy responsibility—not just to design inspiring spaces, but to ensure those spaces protect the lives of the people within them. Aesthetic brilliance means little if a fire can breach walls and ceilings within minutes. That’s where fire stopping comes in—and why Nullifire is the industry specialist and go to supplier.

When it comes to passive fire protection, we aren’t just another supplier. We aim to be a partner in building safer, smarter, and more sustainable spaces.

Fire Stopping Is a Design Responsibility—Not Just a Technical Detail

Many designers may still view fire stopping as a “construction-phase issue,” something left to contractors or fire engineers. But the reality is: if it’s not designed into the plan early, it’s already compromised.

Architects who integrate fire stopping intelligently from the outset don’t just reduce delays and cost overruns—they build trust. They protect the building’s integrity and their professional reputation.

That’s why you need a partner who understands fire stopping inside and out—and provides solutions that fit seamlessly into your vision. That’s Nullifire.

Why Nullifire?

Unlike general manufacturers who treat fire stopping as a side business, Nullifire specialises in passive fire protection. It’s not just a product line—it’s our core purpose.

With over 50 years of focused experience, we have become a trusted name across the UK and Europe. Our systems are used in everything from residential towers to hospitals, data centres, airports, and high-risk infrastructure. Our track record speaks volumes.
