Flamro Firebreather Cavity Barrier

October 26, 2026

Cavity barriers are an important consideration in building designs where concealed spaces could allow fire and smoke to spread. In ventilated facade systems, the challenge is to address fire protection requirements while accommodating the ventilation needed by the facade design.


The Flamro Firebreather Cavity Barrier is designed for specified applications involving ventilated facades and other suitable cavity arrangements.


What is the Flamro Firebreather Cavity Barrier?

The Firebreather Cavity Barrier is a passive fire protection product incoporating stainless steel mesh and intumescent material.


The system is designed to allow ventilation under normal conditions while responding to fire exposure to help seal the relevant cavity, in accordance with its tested performance.


Where can it be used?

The manufacturer's product information identifies applications including suitable ventilated facade cavaties, seperation areas between floors and certain roof of ceiling ventilation gaps.


The exact permitted applications depend on the system specification, supporting construction and installation details.


What should you consider when specifying a cavity barrier?

When selecting a cavity barrier, consider:

  1. The facade or cavity construction
  2. The cavity dimensions and ventilation requirements
  3. The position of compartment floors and walls
  4. The required fire-resistance classification
  5. The tested installation details and supporting technical documentation


Choosing a product with the correct application evidence is essential. Fire-resistance classifications must be checked against the specific system and configuration rather than assumed to apply universally.

Choosing the right fire protection coating is an important consideration for projects where building services and structural elements require protection as part of a specified passive fire protection system. Flamro provides a range of fire protection products, including specialist coatings and fillers designed for defined applications. At Blazeout, we help contractors and firestopping professionals source products to meet their project requirements.  What are Flamro fire protection coatings? Fire protection coatings are specialist materials used within particular fire protection systems. Their purpose and performance depend on the formulation, the substrate being protected and the system in which they are installed. Flamro's product portfolio includes a fire protection coating, which is used in specified fire protection applications, including certain cable protection systems. It is important to distinguish between coatings intended for cable installations, coatings used with mineral fibre boards and products designed for other applications. These products should not be treated as interchangeable. Where can Flamro coatings be used? Depending on the specific product and tested system, applications may include: Fire protection for suitable cable installations Coating components of specified firestopping systems Use with compatible mineral fibre board systems Selected passive fire protection applications in buildings and infrastructure The exact permitted uses, application thicknesses, drying requirements and performance ratings must be confirmed from the manufacturer's documentation. Why specify the correct coating? A coating must be compatible with the substrate and the intended fire protection system. Application method, coverage, thickness and installation conditions can all affect the final result. Installers should always follow the relevant technical data sheet and installation instructions rather than relying on a generic description of a fire protective paint.
