What is a Ceiling Speaker Fire Hood?

Made of fire-retardant materials, a fire hood encases the open back of a ceiling speaker which would otherwise be exposed in the ceiling void.

The benefits of ceiling speaker fire hoods include:

Prevents fire from spreading across the ceiling void in a worst-case scenario.
Suppresses sound leaking at the back of the speaker and into rooms above.
Protects exposed speaker components from dust and debris.

Do I Need to Install Fire Hoods?

Whether in public or residential settings, fire hoods comply with UK Building Regulations by providing an effective fire barrier.

If you have a habitable room above the location of your ceiling speaker, fire hoods are an essential protective device for safeguarding against the spread of fire.

What Fire Hoods do you recommend?

Please be aware, some home and building insurers now reject claims for fire damage where ceiling speaker fire hoods have not been installed.
