Downlight Fire Hood

A range of fire hoods and intumescent insulation guards for use with recessed and semi-recessed downlights. Cutting a hole in a ceiling to install lighting affects the fire resistance of the structure, so an additional barrier is required to help reduce the spread of flames and give occupants time to exit a building in the event of a fire. Approved Document B gives guidance on the fire-resistance of a ceiling, and it may be indicated in the Building Regulations. These products also protect the luminaires from dust accumulation.
