What are cavity barriers?
Every building is different, which is why it’s important to consider all your options when it comes to fire protection. Many buildings that are clad with materials like brick and render don’t require external cavity barriers, but if you want extra protection for your structure you should invest in some. Intumescent cavity barriers are perfect for protecting high-risk claddings from fire; they work by melting when they come into contact with flame, thus providing a protective layer between combustible cladding and actual flames. Contact CSS Facades Limited today if you would like more information on cavity barriers or our other products and services. Our experts can help you choose exactly what you need to get started on your next project!
Why do you need them?
Intumescent barrier facades are designed to provide protection against fire and heat. Intumescent Cavity barriers also come with supplementary products such as Flame Block Cables and Cross Arm Kits that are intended to help prevent a cavity fire from spreading beyond its point of origin. What if you could use one product for two purposes? Well, that’s exactly what our experts have achieved with our innovative new range of intumescent cavities barriers. Now you can get increased protection for your cladding along with additional fire safety at wall junctions or where support bars intersect your cladding panels. These two-in-one products are an affordable way to enhance your building’s overall level of fire protection, so we strongly advise that you add them to your order whenever possible!
Where do you put them?
If you are using Decorative Cladding or any other kind of cladding with combustible materials as a part of it, then it is important to take steps to protect against fires. You can do so by installing an intumescent cavity barrier. This special barrier works by expanding and hardening when exposed to heat. That hardening and expansion fills in any potential spaces where fire could escape from, providing better protection than simply having a layer of insulation between your cladding and insulation. In addition, Intumescent Cavity Barrier provides up to 4 hours of protection against fires that may start on your exterior wall. Be sure you choose one specifically designed for use with Decorative Cladding or other types of material that have been exposed to fire.
What are the best fire protection products for your cladding?
Fire damage to buildings, facades and cladding can be devastating and often fatal. That’s why you need to make sure your building has everything it needs to keep itself protected against fire damage. One of these fire protection products is a cavity barrier. A cavity barrier works by filling the gap between two parts of the construction so that they don’t create an air space. When the air space gets hot enough, it will ignite any flammable materials in this area, which can then cause all sorts of trouble for the rest of the structure. To avoid this from happening, you should get yourself some excellent insulating boards that are designed for use with a cavity barrier or get a company like CSS FACADES LIMITED to install one for you!
