Rated for integrity and insulation performance, TITAN Lite™ 120:60 is the highest performing fire barrier exceeding 2 hours integrity and 1 hour insulation performance (BS 476 Parts 20/22).
FIREFLY™ was the first certified flexible fire barrier system and remains the most recognised and respected brand in the business to this day.
Fire barriers are used to compartmentalise building voids or concealed spaces to delay the spread of fire and smoke in an emergency. They are rated for integrity and insulation performance.
The recent addition of firestopping products makes FIREFLY™ the number one supplier of passive fire protection products in the UK.
All FIREFLY™ passive fire protection products are fully certified and supported by an experienced team able to provide timely and practical support and training to ensure installations are problem-free, compliant with regulations and meet the increasingly demanding expectations of the market.
FIREFLY™ flexible fire barriers (also known as cavity barriers) are made with combinations of specialty woven and nonwoven glass substrates and aluminium foils. The range of barriers has been developed by TBA Protective Technologies Ltd, the leading UK producer of high-performance materials for thermal protection applications, with a 150 year pedigree in technical textile manufacturing.

FIREFLY® products installed at Birmingham Airport
Products from the FIREFLY® range of passive fire protection systems, including Titan Lite 120:60, are continuing to be used by one of the company’s accredited and approved installers at Birmingham International Airport, as work progresses on phase 2 of the major reconstruction affecting the landside facilities used by thousands of passengers every day. The specification of Titan Lite for this prestige project reflects the barrier system’s proven track record within industrial as well as more sensitive locations such as food processing facilities and data centres. Primarily intended for use in roof voids and other concealed spaces to create compartmentation, the high-performance material is manufactured from layers of aluminium as well as woven and non-woven glass fibre.
Developed for installation as a three-layer system, Titan Lite 120:60 is the highest performing barrier in the FIREFLY® range, offering two hours integrity and a full one hour’s insulation. Work is being undertaken on behalf of main contractor Vinci by Midlands based KRASI Fire Protection, who in turn have deployed its teams repeatedly over the past 12 months and recently completed the installation of numerous compartmentation barriers within the roof space above the corridor areas adjacent to the World Duty Free Zone.
The Project Manager for Krasi Fire Protection, Richard Dark, commented: “Our task throughout has been to install new fire barriers to permit the existing ones to be dismantled, and thereby enable the major alterations and renovation work that is taking place. The FIREFLY® product range has been used here extensively in the past and the various details employed on the current work have been approved by the client and the airport’s own fire engineer. The barriers are being formed using the Titan Lite with lengths of Unistrut to secure the top of the barrier due to the distance between purlins.”
The barrier is fixed to Unistrut, which spans between the purlins, with FB180 Batt mechanically secured through the Unistrut using FIREFLY® Pigtail Screws to maintain the compartment line up to the composite roof. Penowrap has been applied around the purlin ends to provide insulation, and Collaroll has been installed to protect service penetrations. Overall, the installation has progressed smoothly, and we are scheduled to return next month.”
Manufactured from woven and non-woven glass, the FIREFLY® range of flexible barriers is designed to optimise resistance to flame and smoke, as well as offer heat protection in a wide range of scenarios. The barriers are easy to install horizontally or vertically using a full selection of FIREFLY® ancillary products to create a fully tested and certified system.
