External Fire Barrier systems are a solution to preventing the spread of fire and smoke within roof and ceiling areas, and unseen voids in buildings. Fire barrier systems are suitable for voids located up to 10.5 metres. Vertical fire barrier systems achieve both insulation and integrity periods up to 120 minutes whilst friction fire barrier slabs can provide up to 60 minutes of protection.

To meet fire safety regulations, cavity barriers are essential in buildings. The regulations mandate that cavity barriers must offer at least 15 minutes of fire resistance and maintain their structural integrity for 30 minutes. Regulations require that buildings should be built with consideration for how fires can spread through compartments in floors, walls, and ceilings. The installation of cavity barriers vertically and horizontally will meet this requirement.
Cavity fire barriers are installed in various locations within a building to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through concealed spaces. We install fire barriers in the following areas:
Fire cavity barriers play a critical role in maintaining the fire safety of a building. Their primary function is to compartmentalise a structure by creating barriers within concealed spaces, which effectively slows down the spread of fire and smoke. This containment allows occupants more time to evacuate safely and provides emergency services with a greater window to control and extinguish the fire. By preventing the rapid movement of fire through unseen voids and cavities, fire barriers help to minimise potential damage to the building and protect the structural integrity.
Our team at Ark Fire Protection has extensive knowledge and experience in the installation of cavity fire barriers for various sectors including Commercial, New Builds, Healthcare (NHS), Student Accommodation, Industrial, Education, Residential, Facilities Management, Social Housing, and Insurance sector. We pride ourselves on our ability to provide bespoke solutions that are tailored to the specific requirements of each sector, ensuring maximum safety and compliance.
Every sector has its unique needs and fire safety regulations – our team of experts is well-versed in these requirements and can provide guidance on the most suitable type of cavity fire barrier for your sector.
Whether you need a fire barrier for a commercial building or a residential development, our team will work closely with you to understand your project’s specifications and deliver an effective solution that meets all necessary regulations.
Fire Barrier Systems are used to slow down the spread of flames, heat and smoke through concealed spaces such as roofs and ceiling voids. Fire Barrier Curtains maintain their integrity and insulation protection for 15 to 120 minutes.
Fire barrier works by slowing down the spread of smoke, gas and fire. The continuous membrane, of the fire barriers, can be either vertical or horizontal. Usually, the amount of fire resistance is a minimum of one hour.
