Subdivision of Large Uninterrupted Cavities, Alignment Under a Partition, to Maintain
Partition Rating, Reduce Flanking Transmission of Sound, Plenum Applications

Subdivision of Large Uninterrupted Cavities

1. Fire Compartmentation: AIM Raised Access Floor Barrier effectively subdivides large uninterrupted cavities beneath raised access floors, providing critical fire compartmentation. This helps to prevent the spread of fire and smoke throughout expansive underfloor spaces.
2. Enhanced Safety: By breaking up large cavities, the barrier enhances the overall safety of the building, ensuring that fire is contained within designated areas and does not easily spread across large underfloor spaces.

Alignment Under a Partition to Maintain Partition Rating

1. Fire Rating Maintenance: The barrier aligns under partitions to maintain their fire rating, ensuring continuous fire protection. This is crucial for preserving the integrity of fire-rated partitions, preventing fire from bypassing these barriers through the floor cavity.
2. Compliance with Fire Regulations: Ensuring that the fire rating of partitions is maintained helps in compliance with fire safety regulations and standards, contributing to the building's overall fire safety certification.

Reduce Flanking Transmission of Sound

1. Acoustic Insulation: AIM Raised Access Floor Barrier reduces flanking transmission of sound, improving acoustic performance within the building. This helps in creating quieter and more comfortable environments, especially in office and residential settings.
2. Sound Containment: By containing sound within specific areas, the barrier enhances privacy and reduces noise pollution, which is particularly beneficial in multi-occupancy buildings and open-plan office spaces.

Plenum Applications

1. Airflow Management: The barrier is suitable for plenum applications, where it helps manage and direct airflow within underfloor air distribution systems. This ensures efficient and controlled ventilation throughout the building.
2. Energy Efficiency: By aiding in proper airflow management, AIM Raised Access Floor Barrier contributes to the energy efficiency of HVAC systems, potentially reducing heating and cooling costs.
3. Containment of Services: In plenum applications, the barrier helps to neatly contain and manage services such as cabling and ductwork, ensuring that these systems remain organized and accessible while maintaining fire safety and airflow efficiency.

What is an AIM Raised Access Floor Barrier?

An AIM Raised Access Floor Barrier is a fire-resistant barrier designed to be installed within raised access floors. It helps prevent the spread of fire and smoke through floor voids, maintaining fire compartmentation and enhancing building safety.

How do you install AIM Raised Access Floor Barriers?

Installation involves fitting the fire barrier within the void space of raised access floors. It should be securely fixed and sealed as per the manufacturer's instructions to ensure optimal fire resistance.

What are the fire protection benefits of AIM Raised Access Floor Barriers?

AIM Raised Access Floor Barriers effectively seal floor voids to prevent the spread of fire and smoke. They maintain the integrity of fire-rated floors, providing critical protection for occupants and property.

How do AIM Raised Access Floor Barriers enhance building safety?

By maintaining fire compartmentation within raised access floors, AIM Raised Access Floor Barriers 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.
