INTRODUCTION
Concealed cavities in buildings offer a quick path for fire and smoke. These areas are often ignored because they are out of sight, and this leaves enormous openings in the fire barrier structure of a building, making compartments vulnerable and rendering the escape routes ineffective. UK Building Regulations give clear instructions regarding the specifications for fire barriers. Envirograf fire barrier products have been designed to fulfill the requirements of these regulations.
PROTECTED
