Our Commitment

At STI, products are but one component of our value package. As a fully focused manufacturer we are committed to providing complete solutions to your Firestop needs and challenges. We invest the time to understand the unique needs of specific construction segments and applicators and then develop products, systems, and programs tailored to meet these needs. The results are industry-changing, innovative, patented technologies such as EZ Path® Fire Rated Pathway and Triple S® two-stage intumescent sealant, or programs and services like our Barrier Management Program (BMP) for healthcare or the industry’s first web-based "Submittal Builder™."As a stable, growing, privately held company we control our future.
