Floors and suspended ceilings are classified as passive fire protection (PFP) products, meaning they are permanently integrated into the structural fabric of a building rather than activated in response to a fire event. Unlike active systems such as sprinklers or fire alarms, passive fire protection works continuously — forming the backbone of a building's fire safety strategy by containing and slowing the spread of fire, heat, and toxic smoke.
