Fire Barrier
Preventing the spread of fire and inhibiting the
passage of smoke in concealed spaces
ROCKWOOL Fire Barrier is a dense stone wool roll with an integral wire mesh,
developed to prevent the spread of flames through concealed spaces, while also
inhibiting the transfer of heat and smoke.

• Patented ‘EasyFit’ fixing system offers fire resistance of up to an hour

• Alternative fixing method offers up to two hours’ resistance
• Provides airborne sound reduction
• Service penetration data available ROCKWOOL Fire Barrier
prevents the passage of fire and
inhibits the spread of smoke
within roof and ceiling voids.

INSTALLATION
½ hour cavity barrier
Figures 4-9 show typical details for Fire Barrier applied to a timber truss construction as a half hour cavity barrier within the roof
section, to satisfy the requirements of building Regulation B3 - (4) i.e. 30 minutes fire integrity and 15 minutes fire insulation.

If the truss is constructed from a minimum timber size of 35 to 49mm thick, both sides of all truss members/bracing require
protection from fire in order to minimise charring and retain strength. Figure 6 shows strips of 50mm Fire Barrier used on the
reverse side of the truss (for this purpose). Nail plate fixings may fail prematurely in fire unless protected (see Figure 9).

The ROCKWOOL
Fire Barrier ROCKWOOL

incorporates an

angle support and clamping plate
clamping plate
(Up to one hour)

For fixing to timber, the ROCKWOOL clamping plate is used, compressing the barrier to the timber, fixed at 450mm centres
using No. 10 woodscrews.

To use the patented ROCKWOOL angle support system, bend tongues out to 90° and impale barrier onto them. The slotted
clamping plate is then fitted by pushing the tongues through the slots, these are then bent over the face of the clamping plate
completing the process.

Common details
Extended drops
ROCKWOOL 50mm Fire Barrier single and double layers, can be extended from a 3.5m drop to a maximum 6m drop by fixing
an additional 2.5m section, stitched with overlapped joints as per Figure 16. For additional guidance and drops in excess of
6m, please refer to Figure 31 and associated guidance.

Wire stitching of butt joints in ROCKWOOL Fire Barrier

Adjacent barriers must be closely butt jointed, or overlapped, and through stitched with 0.9mm galvanised annealed wire
(see Figure 15). It is essential that the barrier provides a good seal at its head, perimeter and at all joints. Where the barrier
abuts a profile such as a trapezoidal deck, the material must be cut to suit and secured to fire stop the gap (see Figure 17).
For extended drops, 1.5mm diameter galvanised and annealed wire is used (see Figure 16).

Penetration details
It is regarded as good practice to adequately support or reinforce services penetrating compartment walls and cavity
barriers, to prevent displacement. It is recommended that such supports should be no greater than 500mm from each face
of the Fire Barrier.

To maintain the integrity of the barrier when penetrated by services with a high melting point (such as steel or copper pipes,
beams or trusses) the barrier is first cut locally to accommodate the service or structural member and then re-stitched as
neatly as possible. The penetration is then lightly sleeved each side of the barrier to a minimum length of 300mm, using the
same barrier material. Each sleeve should be securely stitched to the main barrier to produce a tight seal and prevent future
detachment (see Figures 18 and 19). Where access is only available from one side, the double seal solution may be replaced
by a single ‘collar’ detail - please contact our Technical Fire Team for further advice.

If the penetrating service is manufactured from a low melting point material such as plastic or aluminium, then sleeving should
be extended to at least 1000mm either side of the barrier.

This guidance applies to services such as pipes, sheathed cables and conduits, including those carried on steel trays.

For protected steel ductwork with a tested fire resistance performance (stability, integrity and insulation) at least the same as
the Fire Barrier, 300mm sleeves should be applied either side of the main barrier, as for high melting point services above.

For information on achieving fire protection to steel ductwork, please refer to the ROCKWOOL Fire Duct System data sheet.

For non-fire protected ductwork, or that with a fire resistance performance less than the barrier, two sleeves should be applied
to each side of the barrier, an inner sleeve of 1000mm and an outer sleeve of 300mm. All sleeves should be stitched to the
main barrier.

The duct should also include an independently supported fire damper, located in the line of the main barrier. Reference should
also be made to Approved Document B of England & Wales Building Regulations - Volume 1, Requirement B3, Section 7 and
Volume 2, Requirements B3, Section 10.

The unique, patented ROCKWOOL support angle and clamping plate is used to fasten two 50mm Fire Barrier curtains with
one support angle without the need for a cavity.

The ROCKWOOL support angle has tongues that are pushed out from opposite sides at 300mm max. centres. A layer of
Fire Barrier is impaled onto the tongues on each side, with joints staggered, then fixed in place using ROCKWOOL clamping
plates. The clamping plates are secured by bending the support angle tongues.

Note that the wire-reinforced sides should face outwards.

When a 1 hour Fire Barrier is supported on structural timber (for example a trussed rafter), and the thickness of timber is

Where timber thickness is 50mm or greater, 2 layers of 50mm Fire Barrier are sufficient.

OTHER INSTALLATION INFORMATION

General design considerations
A cavity fire barrier must be designed to restrict the passage of both hot smoke and flames for the minimum specified period,
as listed in Approved Document B in support of the Building Regulations. In addition, it must be fixed in such a way that:

• It will remain effective in the event of structural movement

• There are no gaps where it abuts other elements of construction
• It complies with the requirements of Approved Document B of the Building Regulations

Extended drops
For periods of up to 60 minutes, ROCKWOOL Fire Barrier can be used for extended void heights between 3.5 and 6m without
the need for a supported frame - see Figure 16 for joining barriers with overlap. For periods of up to 90 minutes, this drop
height can be increased to 10.5m (9m for 120 minutes), by the use of a simple frame system constructed from slotted angles
and straps (see Figure 31).

Further details are available from ROCKWOOL Technical Solutions Team.

Fire barriers and dampers

Where ROCKWOOL Fire Barrier is installed in conjunction with fire dampers, the dampers must be supported independently of
the fire barrier. HVCA or ASFP publications may be helpful.

Access through barriers

Where regular access is required through the barriers for maintenance purposes etc, this should be achieved by the inclusion
of an independently supported fire rated door set and frame. Fire Barrier should be clamped to the door frame with the RW
clamping plate and appropriate fixings at 450mm centres.

If other hardware is used to support the barriers, we recommend that the respective specifier, supplier or installer should be
certain that the chosen fixing system has been both tested and approved, for the required period of fire resistance and drop
height.

Handling
ROCKWOOL Fire Barrier is easy to handle and cut to shape. The product should be stored indoors or under a weatherproof
