Fire Hoods for Downlights – Single, Twin, Triple, and Square Options

Overview
Fire hoods allow you to install recessed downlights of your choice into fire-rated ceilings while maintaining the required fire protection. These versatile, intumescent fire hoods are suitable for a range of ceiling types and available in multiple sizes, including single, twin, and triple configurations.

Design and Performance
Manufactured from a fully breathable intumescent material, each hood features a patented instant-release envelope and an adjustable, self-supporting fixing method. This innovative design allows heat from the lamp to dissipate safely, helping to prevent the downlight and terminal block from overheating, while expanding in the event of a fire to seal the ceiling cut-out.

Lightweight and flexible, these fire hoods can be installed from either above or below the ceiling. Installation is quick using the self-supporting design, with optional screw fixing if preferred.

Suitable Applications
Designed for use in plasterboard, suspended, or concrete ceilings with a thickness of 9–35mm. Perfect for residential and commercial projects where recessed downlights are used within fire compartments.
