Cavity Fire Protection

Cavity Barriers & Slab Edge Protection

Multi-purpose cavity barrier solutions preventing fire spread through concealed building cavities. Professional installation designed to protect structural integrity while accommodating building requirements.

Essential Cavity Fire Protection

Cavity barriers are a crucial part of passive fire protection, designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through concealed cavities. Made from fire-resistant materials, cavity barriers are installed within a building's hidden structural cavities to slow the movement of fire and smoke.

These barriers can be installed both horizontally and vertically, depending on the design and fire strategy plan. In many cases, cavity fire barrier installation must also accommodate structural movement and ventilation to manage moisture and prevent condensation.

Our team has extensive experience in both slab edge fire stopping and cavity barrier works. Whether you're working on a new build or refurbishment, we are confident in our ability to deliver high-performance solutions tailored to your passive fire protection requirements.
