Specification
Fixing : Joist Barriers are supplied slightly wider than the joist in which they are to be installed and are friction fitted into place . They are also supplied thicker than the depth of the floor joist so around 30mm of barrier will protrude , further protecting the steel joist from heat .
Dimensions
Joist Barriers are supplied in 1200mm lengths and are factory cut to suit 92mm and 254mm floor joists .
Standards & Performance :
The mineral wool core of a Fusion Joist Barrier is non combustible to BS476 : part4 : ( 1984 ).
Special attention must be paid to the joints to ensure that these are very closely butted .
The correct use of a Joist Barrier will exceed the requirement for a 30 minute cavity fire barrier as defined in Table A1 of Appendix A to Approved Document B of the Building Regulations 2006 ( 2013 edition ). The product has been independently tested adopting procedures and criteria from EOTA TR - 31 . Approved Document B of the Building Regulations 2006 ( 2013 edition ), Section 6 " Concealed Spaces ( cavities )" details the requirement and purpose for which a cavity barrier should be installed .
