Verified by manufacturer 3 days ago
Mineral fibre ablative batt with bonded graphite strip for use with FIREFLY® systems.
Application
- The FIREFLY® Roof Cavity Closer is designed to extend the compartmentation line through the roof membrane to the outer tile/sheet.
- It is installed below the membrane and can be used when installing a FIREFLY® Barrier or a FB180 Batt system.
- Suitable for use both perpendicular and parallel to the gable end.
Description
Providing a fire-tested solution to close the void between roof membrane and tile at compartment lines, FIREFLY® Roof Cavity Closer is a specially manufactured combination of ablative batt and intumescent graphite. The bonded intumescent graphite strip will expand to fill the void to the outer tiles in the event of a fire.
The FIREFLY® Roof Cavity Closer should be friction-fitted into the void and edges “buttered” and sealed with FIREFLY® FR Intumescent Acrylic. Consult drawings on the
FIREFLY® website for full installation details for various scenarios.
Features and benefits:
- Provides a practical fire-stopping solution to meet the requirements of Building Regulation Part B to close the void between the roof membrane and outer tiles.
- Extends compartment fully to the exterior skin of the building.
- Achieves compliance without the need to provide a 1500 mm wide protected zone (or “umbrella zone”) either side of the compartment line.
- Sits below the membrane, so there's no need to remove tiles or cut the membrane to fit – suitable for retrofit.
- Can be used in conjunction with various materials within the compartment wall; including FIREFLY® flexible fire barriers, FIREFLY® FB180 Ablative Batt, timber, plasterboard and block/ brickwork.
- Tested to the requirements of BS EN 1363-1:2020 and provides a tested and certified solution as part of a FIREFLY® system.
