Method of installing a fire barrier in a wall cavity
A method of making a fire barrier in a wall cavity of a building (100) comprises injecting a liquid intumescent sealant into the cavity via an inlet (115A-D) formed in a wall (101) that bounds the cavity (107) to form a fire barrier between an upper region of the wall cavity (107U) and a lower region of the wall cavity (107L). The intumescent may be injected into a preformed envelope or sock which has been inserted into the cavity and is supported within it by pins. The intumescent sealant may be a high expansion water based acrylic sealant containing graphite.
