Fire Cavity Barriers
Fire Barrier Building Products
Siderise offers a comprehensive range of fire barriers tailored to various applications, ensuring effective smoke and fire protection in building facades.
RV Cavity Barriers for Cladding / Rainscreen – Vertical
The RV Cavity Barriers for Cladding/Rainscreen - Vertical are designed to fill the void between the external envelope and internal structure, providing excellent resistance to both smoke and fire passage.
These barriers are crucial for maintaining air-pressurization compartmentation in ventilated facades.
They are IFC Certified (IFCC 1712) and allow continuous ventilation and drainage behind rainscreen envelopes.
RH Cavity Barriers for Ventilated Cladding / Rainscreen – Horizontal
The RH Cavity Barriers for Ventilated Cladding/Rainscreen - Horizontal are specifically engineered for the external envelope or fabric of buildings.
They ensure proper drainage, airflow, and effective hot smoke and fire sealing.
Tested to ASFP TGD19 standards, they provide up to 120 minutes of fire integrity and insulation.
CW Perimeter Firestop & Protected Spandrel Systems for Curtain Walling
The CW Perimeter Firestop & Protected Spandrel Systems for Curtain Walling offer a reliable solution for perimeter fire barrier requirements in curtain walling applications.
These systems are tested and third-party certified, providing structural fire protection to mullions and transoms while maximizing stability and integrity.
RF Cavity Barriers and Fire Stops for Raised Access Floors
The RF Cavity Barriers and Fire Stops for Raised Access Floors are market-leading compartmentation solutions designed for raised access floors.
Easy to install and offering fire resistance to EN 1366-4 standards, they ensure effective compartmentation and acoustic performance.
Additional Fire Barrier Solutions
Siderise's range also includes various other fire barrier solutions such as:
- CW-FB Curtain Wall Fire Board
- CW-FS Perimeter Barriers and Firestops for Curtain Walling
- EW Cavity Barriers and Fire Stops for Masonry External Walls
These products are rigorously tested and certified to provide reliable fire protection in different construction scenarios.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are fire barrier building products?
Fire barrier building products are passive fire protection systems designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke within building cavities, façades, curtain walling, and floor systems.
2. What is the purpose of cavity barriers in buildings?
Cavity barriers restrict the hidden spread of fire and smoke within wall or façade cavities, helping maintain compartmentation and compliance with building regulations.
3. What is the difference between vertical and horizontal cavity barriers?
Vertical cavity barriers seal gaps between the external façade and internal structure, while horizontal cavity barriers are typically used in ventilated façades to allow airflow but expand in a fire to close the cavity.
4. What fire rating do cavity barrier systems provide?
Depending on the system and installation, cavity barriers can provide up to 120 minutes of fire integrity and insulation when tested to relevant EN standards.
5. Where are fire barrier systems commonly installed?
They are commonly installed in commercial buildings, residential developments, high-rise façades, curtain wall systems, masonry walls, and raised access floors.
