Glidevale Protect FrameFoil FR - A2 Fire Rated Vapour Control Layer

Protect FrameFoil FR is a robust, Class A2 fire retardant, reflective air and vapour control layer (AVCL), offering low emissivity to enhance the thermal performance of walls, ceilings and floors. Suitable for internal use in steel, masonry and timber construction.

FrameFoil FR is independently fire tested in both free hanging and system applications, achieving an A2-s1, d0 reaction to fire classification to exceed current fire regulations.

Offering Class A2 fire rated performance and excellent thermal resistance, this AVCL is complemented by the use of Protect FR Foil tape, which is available separately and manufactured using the same A2 material, giving reassurance on a fire rated system specification. By ensuring membrane overlaps are well sealed, this will also deliver effective airtightness and vapour control to help create a healthier and more energy efficient building.

FrameFoil FR can be combined with the Protect FrameSafe FR or FrameSafe 5000 FR external wall breather membrane to provide a full through-wall system solution, giving optimum defence against the elements during construction and added protection for the life of the building.

* Tested by an external laboratory both free hanging and as part of a system in an end use application with Protect FrameFoil FR fixed over A1 and A2 substrates with a minimum density of 37.5 kg/m3 and all laps sealed using Protect FR Foil tape with a maximum 10% coverage.

Features and benefits:

• Fully compliant with EN 13501-1 and exceeds requirements in UK Building Regulations Approved Document B & Building.
• Membrane and tape independently fire tested as a system, providing reassurance in product specification across all building heights.
• Reflective membrane featuring an advanced glass fibre fabric composition with added tensile strength and durability.
• Protect FR Foil tape available separately to seal laps for complete system solution.
• UKCA and CE marked.
• Ideal for modular, offsite and traditional build on both residential and commercial projects.
• Strong air and vapour resistance, helping to avoid condensation risk, in accordance with BS 5250.
• Low emissivity reflective surface achieving an aged thermal resistance of 0.64 m2K/W, enhancing the energy efficiency of the structure when facing into a still air cavity.
