Tenmat’s VFB Plus Ventilated Fire Barriers are ’open state’ cavity fire barriers for ventilated cavities of up to 450mm.

PASSIVE FIRE PROTECTION

Specially formulated for fire stopping

Each VFB Plus consists of a specially formulated fire-rated stone mineral wool section with an integral high expansion intumescent seal fixed to the leading edge. The VFB Plus then leaves a maximum 44mm air gap to allow for drainage and maintain ventilation in normal use. In a fire situation, the intumescent seal rapidly expands to seal off the air gap and prevent vertical fire from spreading within the external wall.

VENTILATED CAVITY FIRE BARRIERS

Easy installation

The VFB Plus are mechanically fixed horizontally within ventilated cavities behind the external wall substrate following the fire compartment line.

The VFB Plus are used horizontally and can be installed in conjunction with Tenmat NVFB Non-Ventilated Fire Barriers which provide vertical fire separation along fire compartment party wall lines.
