Cavity barriers are an essential component of passive fire protection systems designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through concealed spaces within buildings.
These barriers are typically installed within wall cavities, roof voids, and floor voids to create a fire-resistant barrier that compartmentalises sections of a building.
By containing fire within specific areas, cavity barriers help maintain the structural integrity of a building, protect escape routes, and give occupants more time to evacuate safely.
Fire Resistance: Cavity barriers are made from fire-resistant materials that can withstand high temperatures, preventing the spread of fire and smoke through hidden voids.
Smoke Seals: Many cavity barriers include smoke seals that prevent the passage of smoke and hot gases, maintaining air quality and visibility in escape routes.
Thermal Insulation: Cavity barriers also provide thermal insulation, enhancing the energy efficiency of a building while maintaining fire protection.
Durability: Designed to withstand harsh conditions, cavity barriers are built to last, ensuring long-term fire protection.
Cavity barriers are crucial for several reasons:
Containment of Fire and Smoke: By preventing the spread of fire and smoke through concealed spaces, cavity barriers limit the extent of fire damage and protect occupants.
Protection of Escape Routes: By maintaining the integrity of escape routes, cavity barriers ensure that occupants can evacuate safely and efficiently.
Compliance with Regulations: Cavity barriers are required by building codes and fire safety regulations to ensure that structures meet necessary safety standards.
Structural Integrity: By containing fire within designated areas, cavity barriers help maintain the structural stability of a building during a fire.
