150mm Rockwool TCB Cavity Barrier and PWCB Cavity Barrier solutions deliver outstanding fire protection specifically engineered for timber frame and masonry construction. These products exceed minimum building regulation standards for fire resistance in concealed wall cavities, with proven performance through rigorous testing delivering 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 products provide thermal performance alongside weather protection during construction. 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 comprehensive solution. It also seals perimeter edges effectively, minimising air leakage and reducing associated heat loss.
Install 150mm Rockwool TCB Cavity Barrier vertically or horizontally depending on your project requirements. For vertical applications, secure both flanges to the inner leaf at 150mm intervals using staples or clout nails before the outer cavity wall compresses the product. In horizontal installations, 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.
150mm Rockwool TCB Cavity Barrier and PWCB Cavity Barrier products have been developed to surpass the minimum Building Regulation requirements for fire resistance within concealed wall cavities.
The TCB Cavity Barrier and PWCB Cavity Barrier are unaffected by building movement, shrinkage, or thermal changes, ensuring consistent performance over time.
These barriers are designed to withstand on-site handling and once installed, they will endure for the lifetime of the structure, providing long-lasting protection.
ROCKWOOL Cavity Barriers offer versatility and can be utilised in both vertical and horizontal applications. In vertical installations, both flanges of the Cavity Barrier can be securely fastened to the inner leaf at 150mm intervals, while in horizontal applications, only the top flange of the polythene sleeve should be fixed.
ROCKWOOL Cavity Barriers effectively prevent flanking noise transmission along concealed cavities in both external wall insulation and separating walls, enhancing acoustic comfort within the building.
