- Fire hoods are a requirement for all in-ceiling speakers that are installed in or adjacent to habitable rooms or within a location of access or escape. Cutting large holes in ceilings for in ceiling speakers destroys the fire barrier and under UK Law the installer is responsible for maintaining that barrier when installing any equipment.

The Firetopper Pro also contains a layer of acoustic foam to cut sound leakage into the room above (typical reduction approx 3dB), as well as providing a thermal barrier to prevent heat escaping through the speaker.
