A legacy of developing industry-leading passive fire protection products and materials

Tenmat offers Ventilated Fire Barriers suitable for a wide range of cavity sizes and construction for passive fire protection. Modern constructions often require external cladding, external facades and rainscreen systems to be held away from the building structure to allow ventilation and improve the building energy efficiency. This resulting cavity creates a serious fire protection threat to structures and people. The void acts like an open chimney and allows the fire to spread quickly both vertically and horizontally around the building.

Comprehensive guide to Cavity Barriers

One of the most crucial elements of passive fire protection within construction is the use of cavity barriers. These barriers play a vital role in containing fire and smoke, limiting their spread through hidden cavities in walls, floors, and ceilings.

This guide will cover everything you need to know about cavity barriers, from basic definitions to legal regulations, real-world applications, and their importance in ensuring building safety.
