Astro Firehood Fire Hood

The Astro Firehood Fire Hood is a purpose-built lighting accessory from Astro, designed to cover recessed ceiling fixtures to preserve a ceiling's fire rating and help prevent the spread of flames. Its box-like form is tailored for safety-first installations in domestic and commercial ceilings.

Form follows function: the hood has a rectangular, box-shaped body with a flat top and four vertical walls, plus a flat horizontal flange that sits against the upper face of a ceiling board to create a secure seal. A circular, reinforced patch houses the cable entry point for tidy routing.

Built from a flexible off-white woven fabric with a visible interlaced texture, the Firehood shows reinforced stitching at corners and panel joins for durability. The cable entry uses a multi-port gasket design rather than a single aperture to simplify wiring and improve sealing.

Functionally the Firehood is all about containment — it maintains the integrity of the ceiling cavity around recessed luminaires and limits the spread of flames. The reinforced patch features seven pre-cut holes (six in a ring plus one central) to accept electrical cables while retaining the protective barrier.

Installation is straightforward: the flexible construction lets the hood be compressed for passing through a light fitting's cutout before expanding to cover the fixture, and the flanged base sits flat against the ceiling surface to form a seal. The product is supplied with a three-year manufacturer warranty for peace of mind.
