Application:

ARC T-BarrierĀ® Timber Frame enables the closing of an external cavity at a party wall junction where building regulations require the use of a mineral wool closer. Additionally, it provides an effective edge seal around the party wall cavity, helping to achieve a zero U-value. The person installing the T-BarrierĀ® for Timber Frame should first familiarise themselves with the datasheet, ensuring the correct product is being fitted into the cavity.

All performance claims made are evidenced in the IFC certification IFCC 1728.

Installation instructions

The ARC T-BarrierĀ® Timber Frame is easily installed as the timber frame is erected. Polythene flanges are present to allow the barrier to be stapled back to the timber while the brickwork progresses, when a compression fit ensures the barrier stays in place. For runs of more than 1.2m, lengths of T-BarrierĀ® should be butted tightly together, with care taken to ensure there are no gaps. Care should be taken when handling the product to ensure that the mineral wool isnā€™t damaged.

FAQ’s

Can this product be used with an SFS internal leaf?

ARC T-BarrierĀ® Timber Frame is fire rated and certified for use in a traditional masonry construction.

Do I take it out of the coloured sleeve?

The polythene sleeve is there to provide product identification and protection from the elements and should therefore be left in place. It does not add to the performance of the product so can be safely cut into, and the product can still be used should the polythene be damaged.

Can this cover multiple cavity sizes?

The ARC T-BarriersĀ® are designed to suit specific cavity widths and are available in 5mm increments. Itā€™s important that the appropriate size is fitted to achieve the required compression fit and to ensure the product performs as expected.

Do you have further documentation for the ARC T-BarrierĀ® Timber Frame?
