The Quelfire Intumescent & Acoustic Putty Pad is designed to reinstate fire and acoustic performance in plasterboard partitions where socket or switch boxes penetrate the wall. Certified for up to 2 hours of fire resistance and up to 70dB acoustic reduction, it is suitable for both single and double socket boxes, whether metal or plastic.

Made from a non-setting, silicone-based intumescent material, the pad expands when exposed to fire to seal the void left by burned-out sockets, also providing a cold smoke seal. Easy to install by hand and suitable for retrofitting, it also helps reduce air leakage, supporting compliance with energy efficiency standards.
