Application

Lightweight, flexible fire barrier commonly installed to provide fire protection below mezzanine floors and balcony structures.


Also used in conjunction with the relevant Vertical barrier to create the Horizontal element of protected zones.


Utilised within roof voids and lofts to achieve fire-rated compartmentation lines throughout a building, in applications including:

  • Social housing.
  • Care homes.
  • Healthcare.
  • Industrial buildings.
  • Commercial buildings.



Horizontal use only (see Apollo Lite 30:30 for vertical alternative).

Description

FIREFLY Apollo Horizontal 30:30 is a lightweight flexible fire barrier designed to provide fire compartmentation of larger concealed spaces and voids within buildings, offering 30 minutes integrity and 30 minutes insulation.


This cavity barrier is manufactured using layers of aluminium, woven and nonwoven glass fibre, specially treated with a proprietary coating to greatly increase fire resistance.


Features and Benefits:

  • Non-Toxic.
  • Chemical treatment to optimise thermal properties and help prevent fibre migration.
  • 30 minutes fire insulation and 30 minutes fire integrity when tested to BS 476 parts 20/22:1987.
  • Specifically designed and tested for Horizontal application.
  • Maintains fire-rated compartmentation lines through roof voids and difficult to access areas where flexibility is an advantage.
  • Tested to BS 476 parts 6 and 7 – Pass (propagation and surface spread of flame).
  • Lightweight, flexible, easy to handle and cut.
  • Installer-friendly fire barrier system.
  • Fully tested to BS476 and independently certified by IFCC/Kiwa. Certificate number: IFCC 1531.
