The Rockwool FirePro range
offers a large choice of fire
protection and fire-stopping solutions. Rockwool has unrivalled
experience in fire protection and offers solutions with exceptional
thermal, acoustic and environmental benefits. This extensive range of
passive fire protection solutions is designed for use in general
building, industrial, marine & offshore applications.
All products in the range have been independently assessed
for their particular use and where appropriate, are supported by third
party approval from accredited bodies, such as the Loss Prevention
Council, Lloyds Register of Shipping and Metronet.
Fire Barrier Systems
Rockwool Fire Barrier systems offer labour-saving solutions
to prevent fire and smoke spread within roof and ceiling voids for all
general conditions encountered on site.
The vertically hung Fire Barriers are capable of achieving
both integrity and insulation protection periods from 15 to 120 minutes
and the friction fitted Fire Barrier Slab can also provide 60 minutes
integrity and insulation. It is Rockwool’s essential insulation
performance that limits the heat transfer through the barriers,
preventing ignition of combustible materials in adjacent areas.
The new patent applied for, support system (application no.
0329817.1) offers a quick, cost effective installation method for the
Fire Barriers for periods up to 60 minutes. This focus on ease of
construction and installation has the added benefit of reducing the
risks of installation error.120 minute systems are also available using
the traditional support methods.
Extended drops are easily catered for, with the system
capable of maintaining its performance in void heights up to 10.5
metres.
Rockwool Fire Barrier systems have been developed to inhibit
the spread of flames, heat and smoke through concealed spaces in
buildings and improve sound reduction. When used in conjonction with
suspended or plasterboard ceilings, the flanking sound can be reduced
by up to 50 dB. The actual reduction will depend on the number of
layers used.

Fire Barrier installation
Fire Stopping - Large voids - ½ hour Cavity Barrier
Rockwool Fire Barrier solution is applied as a hanging
curtain. The barrier is continuously supported and secured to the
soffit at its head. At the base it is preferable in a cavity barrier
situation to wire the barrier to the ceiling grid although it is
acceptable to let it drape freely, turned back across the ceiling.
If the Fire Barrier is to form a continuation within a void
of a fire resistant wall/partition, it is essential to fix the barrier
to the wall/partition head to maintain integrity.
Fixing to timber
Fire Barrier can be applied to a timber truss construction as
a half hour cavity barrier within the roof space to satisfy the
requirements of Building Regulation B3 – (4).
If the truss is constructed from a minimum timber size of 35
to 49mm thick, both sides of all truss members/bracing require
protection from fire in order to minimise charring. Strips of 50mm Fire
Barrier is used on the reverse side of the truss for this purpose.
Alternatively, a second layer of Fire Barrier may be applied
to provide 1 hour fire rating.
Nail plate fixings may fail prematurely in fire unless
protected .
For fixing to timber, the Rockwool clamping plate is used,
compressing the barrier to the timber, fixed at 450mm centres using No.
10 woodscrews.
Rockwool angle support clamping plate system
To use the patented Rockwool angle support system, bend
tongues out to 90° and impale barrier onto them. The slotted clamping
plate is then fitted by pushing the tongues through the slots and these
are then bent over the face of the clamping plate completing the
process.
Fixing to concrete soffits
For fixing to concrete soffits, the pre-punched angle support
is fixed using Hilti DBZ or Ejot ECL 35 hammer set anchors at max.
750mm centres.
Fixing to steel purlins
For fixing to steel purlins, use Hilti SMD 02Z (5.5 × 70mm)
self-tapping screws at max. 450mm centres.
60-30 Fire Barrier
If 30 minutes insulation is required, use 1 layer of 60mm
foil faced fire barrier with 100mm vertical over lapped joints. The
barrier is otherwise fixed as previously shown for timber construction.
Fire Stopping - Large voids - One hour Cavity Barrier
Rockwool Fire Barrier solution is applied as a hanging
curtain. The barrier is continuously supported and secured to the
soffit at its head. At the base it is essential to fix the barrier to
the wall/partition head to maintain integrity.
The Rockwool support angle has tongues that are pushed out
from opposite sides at 300mm max. centres.
Two 50mm Rockwool Fire Barriers with staggered joints are
then impaled on the tongues on both sides and clamped using the
Rockwool clamping plates. The tongues are finally bent over the
clamping plates, completing the system.
Note that wire reinforced sides should be placed outwards.
Fixing to timber
When a one hour Fire Barrier is supported on structural
timber (for example a trussed rafter), and the thickness of timber is
35–49mm, one layer of 60mm Rockwool Fire Barrier must be placed on each
side of the timber. Where timber thickness is 50mm or greater, 2 layers
of 50mm Fire Barrier are sufficient.
Fixing to concrete soffits
For fixing to concrete soffits, the pre-punched angle support
is fixed using Hilti DBZ or Ejot ECL 35 hammer set anchors at max.
750mm centres.
