At Skynet General Contracting, we understand that fire safety goes beyond just sprinklers and alarms. True building safety relies on Passive Fire Protection (PFP)—the silent system that contains fire and smoke to its point of origin.
We provide comprehensive firestopping and fire caulking services for commercial, industrial, and institutional projects across Kentuckiana, including Louisville, Southern Indiana, and surrounding areas. Our certified team ensures your facility meets strict building codes while safeguarding lives and property.
Firestopping is the process of sealing openings and joints in fire-resistance-rated wall and floor assemblies. When mechanical, electrical, or plumbing (MEP) systems penetrate a fire-rated wall, the integrity of that wall is compromised.
Our services restore that integrity using UL-classified systems and approved materials—such as intumescent sealants, firestop pillows, and composite sheets—to prevent the spread of flame, smoke, and toxic gases.
We offer end-to-end solutions for both new construction and retrofit projects. Whether you are a general contractor needing a reliable sub or a facility manager upgrading compliance, we handle it all.
This is the most common form of firestopping, addressing openings created by utility services. We expertly seal:
Buildings are designed to move. We install flexible firestop systems that accommodate thermal expansion, seismic movement, and wind load without breaking the fire barrier.
We provide perimeter fire containment to seal the void between the floor slab and the exterior curtain wall, preventing fire from “leapfrogging” up the side of the building.
In the construction industry, “good enough” doesn’t cut it when it comes to life safety. Improperly installed firestop is a major liability and a common reason for failed building inspections.
We strictly adhere to IBC (International Building Code), NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) standards, and local Kentucky and Indiana fire codes.
Proper compartmentalization gives occupants critical time to evacuate during an emergency.
Smoke inhalation is the leading cause of death in fires. Our smoke-seal applications stop toxic fumes from migrating through walls.
Finding a qualified firestop contractor in Kentuckiana can be challenging. Skynet General Contracting bridges the gap between general construction needs and specialized life safety requirements.
Our team is trained in the correct installation of major firestop brands (e.g., Hilti, 3M, STI).
Firestopping requires rigorous documentation. We provide detailed logs and photos of every penetration for your "As-Built" records, making future inspections seamless.
We coordinate with other trades (plumbers, electricians) early in the project to select the correct UL systems, avoiding costly rework later.
Don’t leave your building’s safety to chance. Whether you need a quote for a new build or a survey of existing penetrations, Skynet General Contracting is your trusted partner in Kentuckiana.
We believe that every project is unique, and we take the time to understand your specific needs and vision
