What is PFP?
Passive Fire Protection is one of the primary component measures of structural fire protection, implemented to contain a fire in the fire compartment, thus limiting the spread of fire and smoke for a period of time, as determined by the BCA. This is acheived by using the appropriate fire structures and components appropriate to each situation using materials that meet Australian Standards for fire resistance.

Our Future
Future planning is currently underway to expand into a larger industrial facility where our long term vision can become a reality and take shape. BFP will have total independence from external suppliers providing maximum stock control ensuring accurate delivery and installation scheduling.
For our clients this will mean greater confidence when placing orders, planning and scheduling work, because of greatly reduced turn-around time between ordering and delivery, currently the largest delaying factor.
