As most buildings contain a multitude of concealed cavities and voids within walls, floors, ceilings and roofs, effective cavity barriers are essential to restrict the spread of smoke or flames. If there is a fire, the intumescent material which makes up the barrier will expand, sealing off the gaps.
Cavity barriers are typically pieces of fire-stopping material which are fitted within buildingcavities – horizontally at each floor, and vertically at each party wall. This assists with fire compartmentation.
FSi Cavity Barriers are developed to protect the voids between the outer rainscreen cladding / facade and the inner construction element of the building. The products are developed by FSi depending on the building requirements, these products are Paraflam SEB, Silverliner Rainscreen Cavity Barrier (ventilated and non-ventilated), and Tecnica SEB.
These products have aluminium foil faces thus providing a class ‘O’ rating and excellent resistance to smoke. A unique method of manufacture provides a resilient lateral compression required to ensure a tight fit.
Flexi-Coat is an ablative, highly advanced highly flexible coating for used to apply to uncoated stonewool boards to reinstate the fire resistance performance of wall and floor constructions where apertures are penetrated by single or multiple services. Flexi-Coat has been designed to be used in application where movement accommodation of +/- 25% is required. Flexi-Coat is idea for slab edge applications and movement seals.
Supplied in 10kg and 20kg pails.
