We were thrilled to be invited to play a critical role in the development of Shepperton Studios owned by the Pinewood Group, where Netflix and Amazon have stages.\nPassive fire protection was a key priority to ensure the safety of the building\u2019s occupants, and fire block was entrusted to provide a fully compliant solution.\nA team of four highly skilled operatives from Fire Block were deployed to Shepperton Studios for six months to carry out the work. The expertise in installing a wide range of passive fire protection measures ensured that every component was built to exacting standards.\nFire Block delivered 2 hours of fire resistance throughout the complex, significantly enhancing its safety and resilience.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t
