Improvements in and relating to ventilated fire barriers
The ventilated fire barrier (VFB) 10 comprises first 12 and second 14 intumescent layers either side of a carrier body 16. The second intumescent layer may be located within the body and may be aligned with the first layer. The layers and body may be enclosed by a shell, which may be openable. The layers may have different dimensions. The second intumescent layer may comprise a plurality of segments displaced from one another. The intumescent layers may be comprised of a thermally-reactive material and the carrier body may comprise a thermally-stable material such as glass or mineral wool. The layers may comprise a uni-directional intumescent material and a mounting means for affixing the barrier to a wall. Also claimed are a cavity and a cavity wall comprising the VFB, and methods of construction of the cavity and cavity wall.
