Tenmat, a Manchester-based specialist in passive fire protection has been producing market-leading ventilated wall fire cavity barriers for many years.
The Tenmat Cavguard 65 roll is a prime example. A ventilated wall cavity fire barrier was designed and developed to solve a number of major issues within the cavity of masonry façades. Designed on a roll for ease of usage and attached with stainless staples, the CavGuard 65 provides a number of unique benefits.
Firstly, CavGuard 65 provides unrivalled fire protection within wall cavities, exceeding ADB of Building Regulations by more than double in terms of both integrity and insulation durations in a fire situation.
Because the Cavguard 65 roll leaves the wall cavity fully ventilated, the need for additional products such as cavity trays, weep holes and air bricks is largely negated, dramatically reducing the amount of combustible products within the wall cavity construction and improving fire safety.
This also means that the amount of moisture and thermal and acoustic bridging of the cavity is greatly reduced, not only increasing the energy efficiency of the wall but also reducing the potential for internal mould growth and generally improving the living conditions within the building.
In a world where Improved fire performance, reduced energy usage and reduced mould growth are highly topical subjects, particularly in buildings of multiple occupancy, the CavGuard roll 65 has made a significant step-change in the fire-stopping performance of cavity barriers when compared to traditional methods.
For precisely this reason, the CavGuard 65 roll has been nominated and become a finalist for a host of awards including the Energy Awards, The Façade Awards and The Offsite Awards.
