CavGuard Roll50 - Ventilated Cavity Fire Barrier

Verified by manufacturer 3 months ago

CavGuard Roll 50 is a cavity fire barrier designed to firestop

the cavity behind external walls consisting of outer substrates of masonry or brickwork. The low smoke, zero halogen, highly expansive intumescent material allows ventilation to be maintained in non-fire conditions.

The CavGuard Roll 50 is made from a flexible intumescent material allowing it to be provided in a roll format. With a thickness of only 4 mm, the low profile design offers significant space and labour saving over traditional cavity socks, whilst also ensuring the external cavity is left

unobstructed and free to ventilate. It is also covered with a protective layer of polythene for ease of handling and to protect it from water.

In the event of a fire, the CavGuard Roll 50 intumescent material will expand to close the external wall cavity, providing effective fire resistance for up to 60 minutes depending upon the inner and outer substrates of the external wall system. The CavGuard Roll 50 is designed to close a free-air cavity of 46mm.
