160mm Rockwool TCB Cavity Barrier

160mm Rockwool TCB Cavity Barrier and PWCB Cavity Barrier solutions deliver outstanding fire protection for timber frame and masonry constructions. These products are engineered to surpass building regulation standards for fire resistance in concealed wall cavities, with proven performance of up to 60 minutes integrity and insulation ratings.

Manufactured from non-combustible stone wool and wrapped in protective polythene sleeves, these cavity wall insulation barriers provide thermal protection and weather resistance during construction. Colour-coded sleeves—red for TCB and white for PWCB—enable quick identification on site.

The Rockwool cavity barrier combines fire safety, acoustic flanking control, and thermal bypass prevention in one product. It also seals perimeter gaps effectively, minimising air infiltration and reducing heat loss.

Application

The 160mm Rockwool TCB Cavity Barrier performs effectively in both vertical and horizontal configurations. When installed vertically, secure the flanges to the inner leaf at 150mm centres using staples or clout nails before the outer cavity wall is built. For horizontal applications, fix only the top flange of the polythene sleeve.

Certification

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.

• ISO14001: Compliant with Environmental Management standards.
• EN 13162: Manufactured in accordance with European standards.
• A+ rating on BRE Green Guide: Recognized for excellent environmental performance.

Fire Protection

The 160mm Rockwool TCB Cavity Barrier and PWCB Cavity Barrier range exceeds minimum Building Regulation requirements for fire resistance in concealed wall cavities, delivering superior protection.

Resilient Performance

These barriers remain unaffected by structural movement, timber shrinkage, or temperature fluctuations, maintaining reliable performance throughout the building's lifespan.

Durability

Designed for robust on-site handling, these barriers provide permanent protection once installed, lasting the lifetime of the structure.

Vertical or Horizontal Solution

ROCKWOOL Cavity Barriers adapt to both vertical and horizontal applications. Vertically, both flanges secure to the inner leaf at 150mm intervals; horizontally, only the top flange requires fixing.

Acoustic Protection

ROCKWOOL Cavity Barriers effectively block flanking noise transmission through concealed cavities in external wall insulation and separating walls, enhancing acoustic performance.
