NVFB Non-Ventilated Fire Barrier
Tenmat’s range of NVFB Non-Ventilated Cavity Fire Barriers, are manufactured from stone mineral wool with an A1 Reaction to Fire Rating and are designed to maintain fire resisting performance to external wall cavities.
PASSIVE FIRE PROTECTION
Effective fire resistance
The NVFB is capable of providing effective fire resistance, for integrity (E) and insulation (I) for up to 120 minutes (EI120) depending upon the orientation of the NVFB and the construction of the external walls.
Tenmat NVFB is supplied cut to size to suit the cavity width or can be supplied in full slabs. It is supplied as plain stone mineral wool as standard and can also be supplied with foil encapsulation.
PASSIVE FIRE PROTECTION
NVFB-LD – Non-Ventilated Fire Barrier (Low Density)
Tenmat’s NVFB-LD is a full-fill cavity fire barrier manufactured from a Euroclass A1 Reaction to Fire classified 100mm thick low-density stone wool. The product is installed between the inner and outer substrates of a masonry façade to reinstate the fire resistance performance of the cavity. The lighter density allows greater scope for compression when installing within brickwork cavities when using wet mortar.
NVFB-CI – NVFB Cassette Infill
For cassette panel applications the NVFB-CI can be supplied. This is an A1 non-combustible stone wool insert designed and tested to be used to fill out the depth of the cassette panel, allowing a continuous air gap to be maintained behind the cassette panel without the need for notching around the panel joints. See the Technical Data Sheet, linked on this page.
NVFB sizes
The NVFB is designed for use within cavities up to 600mm wide and only requires 5mm of compression when fitting.
