Wherever there is a concealed cavity within a building - whether within a floor, partition wall, ceiling or external façade – there is a risk of fire spreading unchecked. It is imperative that barriers are put in place to prevent the passage of fire and toxic smoke in these areas.
ROCKWOOL offer a range of specialist cavity barrier products, each proven by independent testing to perform in its intended application.
ROCKWOOL Fire Barrier EN is a passive fire protection solution designed to inhibit the spread of fire and smoke through concealed spaces of a building.
The new product builds and expands upon the scope of application available from ROCKWOOL, while streamlining the range to simplify specification and installation.
*Subject to the application and fixing method.
Fire Barrier EN has been tested in a range of applications, including below concrete soffits, within timber joist constructions, heads of walls, and with a timber fire door set. Penetrations accounted for within testing are steel and copper pipes, plastic pipes, timber beams and cable trays.
Fire Barrier EN supersedes existing Fire Barrier from 15th May 2024, and ROCKWOOL recommends swapping current project specifications wherever possible.
