Do I need to fit a speaker fire hood?

Do I need to fit a speaker fire hood?

Simply put, we recommend using Fire and acoustic hoods in all installations. The Hood will do 4 things:

  1. It will maintain the fire integrity of your ceiling

  2. It will reduce sound travel between floors and through the ceiling void

  3. It will help with thermal leakage of the room

  4. It will improve the sound output of your speaker.

 The rule to follow is: Fire hoods are required if the ceiling speaker is installed in or adjacent to habitable rooms or within a location of access or escape.

To meet building regulations and for your peace of mind, we always insist on this, as per instructions.

Part P. Regulations 4 (2) states that," on completion of work, the building should be no worse in terms of the level of compliance with other applicable Parts of Schedule 1. These may include, but are not limited to, Parts B, E, F and J."
