Siderise BB-FB Balcony Bracket Fireboard

Siderise BB Balcony Bracket provides a rapid solution for continuing compartmentation of cavity barriers and fire stops where interfacing with a balcony bracket in the cavity when abutted either side by Siderise Cavity Barriers and Fire Stops such as:

• Siderise EW– Cavity Barriers and Firestops for use in external masonry wall build-ups
• Siderise RH/RV – Cavity Barriers for use in ventilated facade build-ups

Siderise BB-FB has been tested in conjunction with a friction fitted firestop to EN 1366-4:2021 and achieved over 2 hours of fire resistance – 120 minutes Integrity / Insulation.

This product represents an ideal combination of tested performance and practical installation. For detailed guidance, please refer to the installation instructions provided.

Balcony bracket connectors come in a wide range of styles and sizes, therefore project-specific advice for your application should be sought from Technical Services.

The suitability of these products for a given Project Specific Detail depends upon many factors, primarily:

• The size and geometry of the balcony connector and its associated base plate, fixing bolts, and thermal break.
• The size and position of the balcony connector and its associated base plate relative to the thickness of the compartment slab.
• Clearance around the connector and any potential clashes with surrounding elements.

In order to offer feedback on the suitability of these products within the Project Specific Detail, we would require detailed drawings of the connector which should be fully dimensioned and also show the relationship between the connector and the slab/compartment floor assembly (i.e. how much clearance there is to the top/ bottom of the floor). Any thermal break material should be shown and the nature of the material identified. Please provide architectural drawings in vertical section, horizontal section, and elevation. These should be dimensioned and indicate the proposed positioning of cavity barriers or firestops and their required fire resistance.

Siderise BB-FB should be fitted tightly around the baseplate and requires 50 mm (two layers of 25 mm) to the bottom and to either side of the baseplate, and a minimum of 15 mm to the top.
