List of featured suppliers of CAVITY BARRIERS on Building Products Index
Cavity barriers are materials that are placed within a structure to prevent the spread of fire and smoke by sealing off any gaps or spaces between the walls, floors and ceilings. These barriers are an important safety feature in buildings, which are designed to provide a fire-resistant and smoke-free environment for occupants. They are typically made from fire-retardant materials such as mineral wool, intumescent materials or fire-resistant foam, and are installed at specific locations in the building to ensure that the fire does not spread between different rooms and compartments. The presence of cavity barriers is necessary to meet building codes and regulations aimed at preventing catastrophic fires and the loss of life.
