Application

ARC Spandrel Barrier seals the top of the party wall cavity, allowing a zero U-value to be achieved when used in conjunction with ARC T-Barrier vertically. Spandrel Barrier is compressed between the top of the party wall blockwork and underside of the spandrel panel, creating a fire and thermal break. The person installing the Spandrel Barrier should first familiarise themselves with the datasheet, ensuring the correct product is being fitted into the cavity.
