BlazeFrame Firestop Deflection Track brings safety and labor-savings together into one innovative head-of-wall system. With an integrated strip of intumescent material that expands up to 35 times its original size when temperatures hit 375° F, it helps slow the spread of smoke and flames. Because it’s applied under factory-controlled conditions, the fire-suppressing strip also eliminates the time-wasting steps that come with installing caulks and sealants in the field. Plus, it’s one of our many fire-rated solutions.
