Description

Cladding on a building requires that the external wall be held away from the building structure thus creating a void.


Whilst allowing for ventilation and moisture dissipation, the void also produces problems in terms of fire protection, as it acts as an open chimney allowing fire to spread both vertically and horizontally around the building.


To combat this the Astroflame fire rated cladding seal ( ASTRO CLAD) has been developed to solve this problem.


ASTRO Clad will create a fire barrier within the cladding preventing or delaying the spread of fire in both vertical and horizontal applications for up to 120minutes rating. The product has been tested in the most onerous combustible cladding designs and still maintains the open cavity.


East to fit designs are available to either be tracked or friction fitted into existing cavities, retro fitting into existing cavities is possible.


Standard seals sizes available to suit typical cavities of 20 to 50mm wide and special seals can be produced for cavities up to 125mm wide.


Tested in both combustible timber frame and non combustible constructions unlike other fire barrier products.


Clading  fire seal - silver Astro Clad: a self adhesive backed high expansion intumescent strip in 1 metre lengths suitable for cavities which can be used both horizontally and vertically.

The strip is finished with an aluminium foil coating which offers excellent weather protection and adds both to the rapidity of seal activation and char durability.
