Intumescent coated slabs (Product 4)
High-density Rockwool slabs with an intumescent coating on both main faces. Suitable for use as a permanent fire barrier in non-load bearing walls, floors and ceilings, as well as around services. Supplied with intumescent jointing compound which is ideal for use over door frames between the door edge and ceiling. Its pliable material makes it easy to cut or resize with a sharp blade to suit any void. It’s possible to paint or also decorate over slabs without impairing its fire protective properties.
Supplied in 60mm thickness to provide effective support and fire protection, making them suitable to fill large wall openings. Using thicker slabs in larger gaps seals off voids and spaces more effectively. Also suitable for floors, however for large floor openings, it is recommended to add additional support using chicken wire mesh to reinforce strength and durability. Intumescent slabs provide up to 4 hours fire rating dependant on thickness and also requirements. Where services and PVC pipes pass through walls or ceilings, Firoblok or intumescent wraps can be used for extra fire protection.
