Silverliner® Open State Cavity Barrier (OSCB) is developed to protect the voids between the outer façade and the inner construction element of the building.
The product is designed for use in a ventilated façade, typically used in horizontal applications at floor junctions and around window openings.
The Silverliner® OSCB allows for 25mm or 50mm linear air gap to ensure movement of air and drain any moisture within the façade.
The aluminium foil restricts fibre migration and offers a class ‘0’ rating.
In the event of a fire the intumescent outer edge of the product will expand and close the ventilation gap between the product and the façade preventing the passage of fire and smoke from one compartment to another.
The Product comes in four different versions, achieving different air gaps and fire performance as follows:-
ASFP TGD19:“Open State” Cavity Barrier used in External Envelope or Fabric of Buildings.
