Semi-rigid Rockwool stone wool laminated to polythene damp proof course cavity closers for the junctions at party walls junctions.
AIM Party Wall Fire Closers are semi-rigid Rockwool stone wool laminated to a polythene DPC. They have been designed to provide at least one hour resistance to the spread of fire and smoke in all three directions at the party wall junction. It also significantly reduces flanking sound transmission within external wall cavities.
The Party Wall Fire Closer is supported with test evidence to show its performance in cavity walls constructed from a variety of different substrates including masonry, many timber frame structures and SFS / through-wall systems.
