AIM (Acoustic & Insulation Manufacturing) has demonstrated its Wall Cavity Barrier (Red Edition) provides effective fire performance without compression in masonry construction.
Acting as a fire and smoke barrier for masonry cavity walls, AIM’s Wall Cavity Barrier (Red Edition) is used to provide a fully closed cavity fire barrier along compartmentation lines in the external cavity wall in a wide variety of construction types, including masonry and SFS. The different barrier thicknesses of 75mm, 100mm and 125mm provide 30, 60 and 120-minute fire ratings to BS EN 1366-4.
The new zero compression solution means AIM’s Wall Cavity Barrier (Red Edition) can be installed easily with green brickwork, or other forms of masonry cladding, and avoids the problem of “brick push off” which can be associated with barriers installed under compression.
