NVELOPE® Cavity Fire Barrier
Developed by the UK’s leading rainscreen subframe provider, the SFS NV CFB cavity fire barrier offers project specific fire safety requirements
The NV CFB system has been created for Designers and Specialist Cladding Contractors who demand a clear and straight forward approach to aid the selection and supply of subframe cavity fire barriers. The requirement to prevent fire breaking into and spreading within the cavity of a rainscreen build-up has gained a high degree of traction in the UK and further a field in certain international regions.
What are Cavity Fire Barriers?
The basic principle of a ventilated rainscreen system allows any penetrating rain or moisture to ‘drain’ or evaporate and vent back to the outside. Further the effects of pressure equalisation allow the movement of air between the inside and outside so that rain is not driven through into the building structure. During a fire event however this freedom of movement could act as a chimney and draw smoke and fire along the cavity. That's where Cavity Fire Barriers come into effect, designed to maintain the ventilated cavity in normal conditions but will rapidly expand to seal off the gap in the event of a fire.Finding the right solution for your project
