ARC U-Barrier

The ARC Spandrel Panel U-Barrier is a fully tested IFC certificated fire barrier purposely designed to seal the top of the spandrel panel. The product can be compression fit or mechanically fixed to the spandrel panel. The ARC U-Barrier has been rigorously tested to meet or exceed the performance requirements laid out in UK and Irish Building Regulations, helping to ensure safer homes.

Key Facts:

• Up to 240 minutes fire integrity.
• Third party certificated by IFC.
• Enhances fire protection at the junction between the spandrel panel and roof
• Easy to install before the spandrel panel is fitted
• Use in conjunction with ARC Spandrel Barrier to provide complete fire stopping around the spandrel panel
• Complies with building regulations and NHBC 7.2.16
• Spandrel Panel Width 100mm
• Pack of 12
• UB100
• Supplied in 1200mm Lengths

Application:

The ARC U-Barrier is compressed between the top of the spandrel panel and underside of the roof covering, creating a fire and thermal break.

NHBC 7.2.16 recommends a 25mm gap between the separating wall and the top of adjacent roof trusses, which should be filled with mineral wool – the ARC U-Barrier satisfies this recommendation.

The person installing the U-Barrier should first familiarise themselves with the datasheet, ensuring the correct product is being fitted into the cavity.

All performance claims made are evidenced in the IFC certification IFCC 1961.

Test reports, third party certification and MSDS available on request.
