AIM Party Wall Fire Closers - All Thicknesses

• Closes cavities up to 100mm thick
• Up to 2 hours' fire resistance in all three directions
• Closes masonry cavities for fire, thermal and acoustic properties
• Now with test evidence that supports the use within a wider range of substrates

Cavity Walls Constructed from Various Substrates:

Versatility

1. Substrate Compatibility: AIM Party Wall Fire Closers are designed to be compatible with a wide range of substrates, including masonry, timber frame structures, and SFS (Steel Frame Systems) or through wall systems. This versatility makes them suitable for different building designs and construction methods

Fire Protection

1. Effective Fire Barrier: These fire closers provide a robust barrier that prevents the spread of fire through cavity walls, ensuring that fire is contained within the compartment of origin. This is crucial for maintaining fire safety in multi-residential buildings and other structures with party walls.
2. Smoke Sealing: In addition to blocking fire, AIM Party Wall Fire Closers also effectively seal against smoke. This prevents the passage of smoke between compartments, enhancing safety for building occupants during a fire.

Compliance

1. Building Regulations: The fire closers meet stringent fire safety regulations and standards, ensuring compliance with building codes. This helps in achieving necessary fire safety certifications for the building.

Structural Integrity

1. Durability: These fire closers are made from durable materials that can withstand the environmental conditions within cavity walls, ensuring long-term performance and reliability in various construction types.

Installation

1. Ease of Installation: AIM Party Wall Fire Closers are designed for easy installation in cavity walls of different substrates. Their adaptable nature simplifies the integration of fire protection measures, whether in new builds or refurbishments.

Acoustic Performance

1. Sound Insulation: Besides fire protection, these fire closers can also contribute to improved acoustic performance by reducing sound transmission through party walls. This is particularly beneficial in residential and multi-occupancy buildings.

Moisture Resistance

1. Moisture Barrier: The fire closers act as a barrier against moisture, protecting the structural elements within the cavity wall from potential water damage. This enhances the longevity of the building components and prevents issues related to dampness.

What is an AIM Party Wall Fire Closer?

An AIM Party Wall Fire Closer is a fire-rated barrier designed to maintain the fire resistance of party walls where they meet the roof structure. It helps prevent the spread of fire and smoke between adjoining properties.

How do you install AIM Party Wall Fire Closers?

Installation involves positioning the fire closer at the junction of the party wall and roof structure. It should be securely fixed and sealed according to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure optimal fire resistance.

How do AIM Party Wall Fire Closers enhance building safety?

By ensuring fire compartmentation between adjoining properties, AIM Party Wall Fire Closers enhance overall building safety. They restrict the passage of flames, gases, and heat during a fire, reducing the risk of fire spread and enabling safer evacuation.

Are AIM Party Wall Fire Closers durable?

Yes, AIM Party Wall Fire Closers are designed for durability and long-term performance. They maintain their fire-resistant properties over time, ensuring reliable fire protection throughout the lifespan of the building.
