FacadeGard™

INTRODUCTION

FacadeGard™ Open State Cavity Barrier (OSCB) is developed to protect the voids between the outer façade and the inner construction element of the building. The product is designed for use in a ventilated facade. FacadeGard™ OSCB allows for 25mm or 50mm linear air gaps to ensure movement of air and drain any moisture within the facade. In the event of a fire the intumescent outer edge of the product will expand and close the ventilation gap between the product and the facade preventing the passage of fire and smoke from one compartment to another.
