Shaping the Future of Firestopping

MRA Research recently contributed to a new report by British Gypsum on firestopping. The report brings together insights from 169 professionals across the UK supply chain – including architects, contractors and specifiers – and explores the challenges and opportunities shaping firestopping today.

The construction industry is undergoing one of the most significant transformations in decades. Regulatory reform, new safety standards, and rising expectations from clients and communities are reshaping how we design, build, and maintain our buildings.

Within this context, firestopping has emerged as a critical area of focus. It is no longer just a technical requirement to be addressed late in the project cycle, but an integral part of how we deliver safe, resilient, and trusted spaces that lead to better built environments, better homes, better places to work and better lives.

This Gyproc® Insight Report on Firestopping brings together perspectives from across the supply chain – architects, specifiers, contractors, installers and distributors – to explore how we can navigate this evolving landscape together. It is based on research and engagement across the industry, with the goal of providing not only insights but also encouragement.
