OSCB Range (Open State Cavity Barriers)

An open state cavity barrier is used in ventilated façade systems and timber frame construction.

Open state cavity barriers allow the ventilation necessary within the wall construction. In the event of a fire, heat activates the intumescent strip which expands quickly to fully close the cavity.

The AIM OSCB range is available to provide either a 25 or 44 mm air gap. For simplicity the range also offers either a 60 or 120-minute rating for both integrity and insulation.


Wall Cavity Fire Barrier

A fire and smoke barrier that is used in masonry cavity walls and masonry curtain walls for both horizontal and vertical use. It is also used for fire stopping between a curtain wall system and a concrete floor slab, with the barrier preventing the passage of heat, flame, and smoke within the cavity it fills for one- or two-hour fire rating periods.

The AIM Wall Cavity Barrier is made from foil faced, high density Rockwool stone wool that is cut to size.
