Description
Fire Mortar
An asbestos-free dry mix, add water and then mixed like plaster. Shuttering boards are not required. Lay Rockwool slabs into the opening, leaving the required depth for the mortar. Upon setting, the mortar is load-bearing. Also, you can use wood bits to drill for the installation of services.
Used in conjunction with either intumescent slabs or also non-fibrous slabs, the mortar provides a permanent fire stopping solution for load-bearing floors, walls and ceilings. For areas over 600 x 900mm, it’s essential to reinforce with 30mm chicken wire mesh, fixed with FB/C straps and support battens. Refer to the Technical Data Sheets for full details of the correct installation of mortar.
Additionally, in the case where pipes, services or cables pass through the surface of a wall or floor, it is essential to fit Intumescent Wraps, Firoblok or Intumescent Collars to reinforce fire protection.
Available in dark grey.
