Cavity barriers for inhibiting the spread of fire and smoke in buildings
A method of producing bespoke cavity barriers 10 for inhibiting the spread of smoke and fire in a building comprises the steps of producing an elongate rectangular block of high density interwoven mineral wool and coating the block on at least one surface with a material which intumesces in the presence of fire. A plurality of cavity barriers of the same or different dimensions are then cut from the coated block. The density of the mineral wool may be 240 kg/m3 and the thickness of the block may be 20mm and the depth 60mm. Fixings 14 enable the block to be attached to the walls or other features of a building. Also claimed is an elongate block formed with intumescent material on at least two opposed sides.
