Expansion joint filler (fire barrier)


For fire and thermal protection of construction expansion joints we use Insu-Ropes of different diameters. In case of fire this insulation solution slows down the spread of fire, fume and toxic gases, and consequentially provides more time to evacuate people. Mineral wool insulation ropes also contribute to maintain appropriate microclimate in buildings; its vapour permeability protects buildings from humidity.
Construction expansion joints are present practically in every construction where there is a need to connect various parts and ensure appropriate seismic building dynamics.
For extra protection of the outer part of Insu-Ropes we recommend installing additional insulation foils (to guarantee protection from water).
