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.
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.
