Providing a fire, thermal and acoustic break at the party wall between the roof tiles and roof membrane: The ARC Wired Tile Batten Barrier is designed to provide a critical fire, thermal, and acoustic break at the party wall junction between the roof tiles and the roof membrane.

Fire Safety: The Wired Tile Batten Barrier acts as a fire break at the party wall junction, preventing the spread of fire between adjoining properties through the roof structure. By creating a fire-resistant barrier between the roof tiles and the roof membrane at the party wall, it helps contain fires, limiting damage and enhancing the overall safety of the building.

Thermal Insulation: This barrier also plays a key role in thermal insulation by preventing heat loss through the roof at the party wall junction. It helps to seal off this area, reducing the risk of thermal bridging, which can lead to significant heat loss. By maintaining a continuous thermal envelope, the barrier improves the building's energy efficiency and contributes to a more stable indoor temperature.

Acoustic Insulation: In addition to its fire and thermal properties, the ARC Wired Tile Batten Barrier also provides acoustic insulation. It helps to reduce the transmission of sound between adjoining properties through the roof structure, enhancing privacy and comfort within the building. This is especially important in shared residential buildings where noise reduction is a priority.

Comprehensive Protection: By addressing fire safety, thermal efficiency, and acoustic insulation in a single product, the ARC Wired Tile Batten Barrier offers a comprehensive solution for sealing the party wall junction at the roof level. This ensures compliance with building regulations and enhances the overall safety, comfort, and energy performance of the building.

What is the ARC Wired Tile Batten Barrier?

The ARC Wired Tile Batten Barrier is a fire barrier designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through roof spaces by sealing the gap between roof tiles and the wall cavity. It is particularly used in pitched roof constructions.

What materials are used in the ARC Wired Tile Batten Barrier?

The ARC Wired Tile Batten Barrier is made from non-combustible mineral wool that is wrapped in a wire mesh for added structural integrity. This combination ensures effective fire resistance and durability in roof installations.

How is the ARC Wired Tile Batten Barrier installed?

The ARC Wired Tile Batten Barrier is installed at the eaves of pitched roofs, where the roof tiles meet the external wall cavity. It is designed to be placed between the roof battens and is typically friction-fitted to ensure a snug and secure fit, creating a continuous barrier that prevents fire and smoke from penetrating the roof space.

Where is the ARC Wired Tile Batten Barrier typically used?

This product is used in pitched roof constructions, particularly in residential and commercial buildings where there is a need to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through the roof space. It is commonly installed at the junction of roof tiles and wall cavities.
