Cavity Barriers & Fire Stopping (Cladding)

Cladding Remediation

Cavity barriers and fire stopping are essential components of fire safety; they should be incorporated into a building's design to prohibit the spread of fire between floors and between different residential or commercial units. Fire stops are required in certain wall systems. Cavity barriers are usually installed in larger voids, such as at compartment walls, floor slabs, and all openings or penetrations in a façade. A S Ramsay Group provides cavity barriers and fire-stopping services for its projects.

Cavity barriers are designed to compartmentalise concealed spaces such as wall and roof cavities. By interrupting hidden voids within a cladding system, they help to contain fire and smoke, slowing down their spread and giving occupants more time to evacuate safely.

Fire stopping is used to seal gaps, joints, and penetrations in fire-rated elements like walls, floors, and façades. These seals help to preserve the fire resistance of the overall system and prevent fire from moving unchecked through openings created for services or construction tolerances.

We supply and install high-performance fire-stopping products and cavity barrier systems that meet the latest building regulations and fire safety standards. Whether part of a new cladding installation or a retrofit project, we ensure all fire protection measures are correctly specified and expertly fitted.

At A S Ramsay, we are committed to delivering safe, compliant, and dependable cladding solutions that include every critical detail, right down to the elements you can’t see.
