Having worked extensively installing firestopping systems, I encountered numerous instances of subpar workmanship and questionable compliance that left much to be desired. Frustrated by these shortcomings, I decided to create a company that would elevate the industry and deliver firestopping solutions that go above and beyond expectations. Our aim is simple: to provide high-quality installations that not only meet compliance standards but also enhance the aesthetic appeal of the built environment.
At Ignis Praesidium, we take pride in educating Site managers, contractors, and other tradespeople on the importance of adhering to manufacturers' installation specifications. This focus on education ensures that firestopping systems are installed correctly the first time, improving efficiency, reducing design errors, and ultimately lowering costs. Our goal is to empower contractors with the knowledge they need to approach each project with confidence, ensuring that fire compartmentation and regulatory compliance are always top priorities.
