HALT GETS GOING
Specialising in fire protection technology, Belfast-based timber treatment firm HALT has been awarded landmark contracts in the UK and Ireland – doubling the size of its Belfast facility
As construction adapts to tighter, tougher safety regulations – fire-retardant timber is emerging as the transformational solution many in the sector have been searching for. It’s easy to see why. Not only does this treated material create life-saving time to escape in the event of a fire – with the timber charring rather than igniting when exposed to high heat – it’s also eco-friendly and made with natural ingredients.
One brand forging a path in this arena is Belfast-based HALT, which uses the innovative, non-toxic, fire-retardant BURNBLOCK treatment. A business arm of the bespoke fit out contractor Pure Fitout (the brand behind the renovations of high-profile venues like Hawksmoor’s debut Irish restaurant, Claridges’ Spa and The Leinster), HALT is currently in the process of upgrading its Belfast production facility to meet intense demand – investing €1.8m overall on a 2,000ft2
site.
HALT has also created 20 specialist jobs in the Belfast region, as well as earning a shortlist spot on the 2023 FSB Awards.
