Does your cavity barrier have to allow for ventilation?
If your cavity barrier has to allow for ventilation, then use the link below to go to our Rainscreen Cladding page.
Horizontal Cavities behind Rainscreen Cladding must be open-state. Open-state cavity barriers allow ventilation within a cavity under cold (normal) conditions and close the cavity under fire conditions. Such cavity barriers commonly comprise intumescent materials that can be activated at elevated temperatures (typically about 180 – 200°C). The intumescent materials continuously expand and seal the cavity gaps whilst remaining in place and withstanding the fire conditions for a considerable period.
Both horizontal and vertical cavity barriers behind watertight curtain walls are closed state. The Siderise CWFS (Curtain Wall Fire Stop) cavity barrier is simple to use and can be easily cut to the correct size on site to suit the cavity width. This system utilises simple mounting brackets spaced at 600mm centres.
