Description

Fireproof Rainscreen Cavity Barrier

Fireproof rainscreen cavity barrier range, especially designed to offer excellent passive fire protection for rainscreen and other types of cladding. Using fireproof sponge instead of mineral wool, this range offers many advatanges:

  • The barrier is much thinner, additionally offering a better fire rating.
  • Easy to fix and no masks required.
  • Fixing brackets already in place, fix with screws, nails, or spit nails.

Made in 1-metre lengths, with 4 fitting brackets for horizontal application or 3 brackets for vertical. Cut with a sharp knife to fit around metalwork. The cover is made from a strong, intumescent-coated material, completely water-resistant.

The RSM range is the same as the RSF, however, the RSF comes with a foiled reinforced covering which is water-resistant.

Depending on the required fire rating, the barrier can have different thickness. Specify the overall cavity size and required ventilation gap when ordering.


Cavity Barriers are pieces of fire-stopping material. They fit within the cavity of a building at each floor horizontally and party wall in a verticle position. The material provides compartmentation. Both the flames and heat cannot be transferred to other compartmental areas. Throughout the life of the building, the Cavity Barrier will remain fixed in place. In the event of a fire, the intumescent material expands and seals off the gaps. Additionally, the horizontal barriers allow for a ventilation gap within the cavity. Subsequently closing when the intumescent expands.

Our Cavity Barrier range at Envirograf® offers superb protection to your building by providing fire stopping. Explore the Cavity Barrier range online.
