Protecta

Our Story

Protecta was built on a simple principle. Passive fire protection should never be based on assumptions. It should be based on evidence.

 

Since 1993, that principle has shaped everything we do. Protecta has grown into a trusted name in passive fire protection by focusing on what matters most: tested systems, technical accuracy, and products that perform in the real conditions they are designed for.

Protecta

Our CEO and Founder

Our story is not just about supplying fire-stopping products. It is about helping the construction industry make safer decisions. Today, Protecta offers a comprehensive range of passive fire protection solutions, including fire rated sealants, fire rated boards, fire rated mortar, fire rated collars, fire rated wraps, fire rated putty products and barrier systems for concealed spaces. These systems are supported by ongoing research, testing and certification, including ETA and UKTA approvals across key applications.

 

“At Protecta, our responsibility goes beyond making products. We develop and supply tested fire stopping systems that help our customers protect life, property and building performance.”
Kjetil Bogstad, CEO
