Description

MP552 Masonry Cavity Barrier and MP552 Masonry Party Wall Barrier are polythene enclosed stone mineral wool cavity barriers manufactured in sizes to suit specified cavity widths. MP552 Masonry Cavity Barriers assist in satisfying requirements of guidance documents such as Approved Document B and The Scottish Technical Handbooks. MP552 Masonry Cavity Barriers are suitable for both vertical and horizontal positioning to the edge of cavities such around openings, at compartment lines and to sub-divide cavities.

MP552 Masonry Party Wall Barriers is suitable for use at party wall lines. MP552 is placed at designated positions during erection of masonry which then compresses the barrier between the inner and outer leaf within the cavity creating a seal against smoke and heat transmission.
