Description
REDSHIELD® and REDSHIELD®-R is a one-product cavity barrier which fulfils the fire integrity and insulation requirements of the Building Regulations Part B without relying on additional lining materials along with providing the necessary thermal break and DPC properties of a cavity closer.
The construction allows the product to be adaptable to suit various cavity sizes, helping to maintain a continuous seal to a range of cavity widths especially those that may ‘stray’ in size.
The construction incorporates a compressed mineral fibre wool insulating core which provides the 30 minutes’ integrity and 15 minutes’ insulation of a cavity barrier as well as providing a solution to cold bridging problems acting as a thermal cavity closer and DPC.
Features and benefits:
- Easily incorporated into new build or refurbishment situations, with profiles available for standard and rebated details and no special fixing requirements.
- Once installed REDSHIELD® and REDSHIELD®-R will last the lifetime of the building.
