130mm Rockwool TCB Cavity Barrier and PWCB Cavity Barrier products deliver superior fire protection for timber frame and masonry constructions. These solutions exceed minimum building regulation standards for fire resistance in concealed wall cavities, with proven performance up to 60 minutes of integrity and insulation capability.
Manufactured from non-combustible stone wool and wrapped in protective polythene sleeves, these cavity wall insulation barriers provide thermal performance and weather protection throughout installation. Colour-coded sleeves—red for TCB and white for PWCB—enable quick product identification on site.
The Rockwool cavity barrier combines fire safety, acoustic flanking control, and thermal bypass prevention in one integrated system. The product also seals perimeter edges effectively, minimising air infiltration and reducing associated heat loss.
These 130mm Rockwool TCB Cavity Barriers work effectively in both vertical and horizontal configurations. For vertical installations, secure the flanges to the inner leaf at 150mm intervals using staples or clout nails before the outer cavity wall compresses the product. In horizontal applications, fasten only the top flange of the polythene sleeve.
Euroclass A1 fire rating: ROCKWOOL Cavity Barriers meet the highest fire safety standards and have been tested and assessed for up to 60 minutes of fire resistance (both integrity and insulation) in accordance with BS 476: Part 20.
These 130mm Rockwool TCB and PWCB Cavity Barrier products surpass minimum Building Regulation requirements for fire resistance within concealed wall cavities, delivering enhanced safety performance.
The TCB and PWCB Cavity Barriers remain unaffected by building movement, shrinkage, or thermal fluctuations, maintaining reliable performance throughout the building's lifespan.
Engineered to withstand on-site handling and installation stresses, these barriers provide permanent structural protection once installed, lasting the lifetime of the building.
ROCKWOOL Cavity Barriers deliver flexible installation options for both vertical and horizontal applications. Vertical installations allow both flanges to be secured to the inner leaf at 150mm intervals, whilst horizontal applications require only the top flange of the polythene sleeve to be fixed.
ROCKWOOL Cavity Barriers effectively block flanking noise transmission through concealed cavities in external wall insulation and separating walls, enhancing acoustic comfort throughout the building.
