Siderise CW-FS Firestop and CW-CB Cavity Barrier

Factory engineered stone wool passive fire solutions for compartmentation in curtain wall and architectural façade systems

Developed specifically for curtain walls 

CW-FS Firestop and CW-CB Cavity Barrier restricts the movement of flame by sealing the gap between compartment floors or walls and the external façade. They feature a Lamella insulation core comprising durable vertically oriented stone wool fibres laterally compressed under factory-controlled conditions and held in place with aluminium foil facings. This allows them to accommodate building movement and façade deflection, ensuring a tight seal for the lifetime of the building.

They can also be used with precast concrete cladding and architectural sandwich panel façade systems, facilitating a continuous run of the slab edge compartmentation line running across multiple interface types where façade materials alternate across the elevation, and removing the need to switch between different firestopping products.

Comprehensively tested

CW-FS Firestop, functioning as a slab edge perimeter seal in our CW Perimeter Barrier System, has been comprehensively tested to BS EN 1364-4:2014, ASTM E2307-20 and ASTM E2874-19 curtain wall fire test standards.

It has also been tested standalone to BS EN 1366-4:2006+A1:2010 to determine its performance when used in the vertical orientation for curtain walling, and in both the vertical and horizontal orientation for use between two fixed elements e.g. pre-cast and composite sealed architectural wall systems.

Fire resistance

CW-FS120 and CW-FS180 are certified to deliver up to 2 hours (E 120 / I 120) and 3 hours (E 180 / I 180) fire resistance respectively. Please see the product technical data sheet for more details.  

CCPI assessed

CW-CB30, CW-FS60, CW-FS120 and CW-FS180 have all achieved CCPI assessed status. This provides greater confidence that the product information we publish about these products is clear, accurate, up-to-date, accessible, and unambiguous — and is checked and managed by competent people. 

CCPI CW-FS
60 year design life

To confirm in-application durability and robustness in its ability maintaining its form and performance when exposed to specific use conditions, CW-FS Firestop has been put through EOTA Technical Report 024 ‘Type X’ accelerated age testing - the harshest category, which replicates exposure to rain, UV, high temperatures, and frost and thaw cycles.

CE marked with movement capability +/- 10%

CW-FS Firestop has passed the relevant European Technical Assessments for CE marking (ETA 21/0297). This includes undertaking movement cycling to simulate real world façade deflection before fire testing to BS EN 1364-4. This gives relevant and robust test evidence for containing fire in non-fire rated curtain wall systems. 

Third-party verified EPD

The environmental impact of all products in the CW-FS Firestop and CW-CB Cavity Barrier range has been assessed through a lifecycle assessment (LCA) and is detailed in a third-party verified EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) created in accordance with BS EN 15804+A2:2019 and ISO 14025.

Product Description

Siderise CW systems are manufactured using a unique method that provides resilient lateral compression. This facilitates installation, ensuring the requisite tight fit and enhancing the fire integrity of the product.

Throughout the range, the materials comprise a one-piece product with a pre-compressed non-combustible stone wool core. The products also have integral aluminium foil facings to provide an overall Class A1 rating (to BS EN 13501-1:2018 “Fire classification of construction products and building elements.”).

The systems can offer tested fire resistance options ranging from 30 mins to 3 hours (3 hours to BS EN 1364-4:2014 “Fire resistance tests for non-loadbearing elements.” only) and can accommodate void widths up to 400mm. In addition to providing an effective seal against the passage of fire, the products are also acoustically absorptive.

Standard Systems

The materials can be either supplied as pre-cut units to suit a specified void size or in sheet form for cutting on-site.

Standard sheet products are supplied 1200 x 1200 mm which may prove beneficial when the actual void size is not known or where it varies significantly. Please note that when ordered in sheet form, the requisite quantity of fixing brackets needs to be purchased separately.

Pre-cut strips are available in 1mm increments of width to suit the cavity size to provide a tight compressive fit within the void - Please see Tables 2-4 regarding fit type. Each pre-cut CW unit is supplied with appropriate fixing brackets as part of the system.

The standard fixing brackets are supplied in galvanized mild steel in a flat form for folding on-site. Brackets are also available in stainless steel.

All hole positions are to be drilled to suit the varying site conditions. Different size brackets are available according to the cavity size – please see Tables 2-4.

All fixing brackets are to be mechanically secured to the substructure with suitable non-combustible fixings.

Resistance to fire
Siderise CW-FS firestop & CW-CB cavity barrier systems have been proven to maintain their integrity (E) and insulation (I) requirements when tested, in horizontal and vertical applications to BS EN 1366-4:2006+A1:2010. The Siderise CW-FS systems have also been tested to BS EN 1364-4:2014 as a horizontal perimeter seal for curtain wall applications. See Table 2-4 for the full range of fire resistance performance and details of its third-party certification, where applicable.

The primary route to compliance for testing horizontal perimeter seals in combination with curtain wall facades is BS EN 1364-4:2014. "Type A" curtain wall systems outlined in the standard, or non-fire rated curtain wall systems, are the most common curtain wall type in the UK. When specifying the CW-FS firestop to be installed to non-fire rated curtain walling, our CW-FB Fireboard product should be used to provide protection to the spandrel zone. The fire resistance performance for this arrangement is outlined in Table 2 and we have a range of standard details for this arrangement on our website.

Within BS EN 1364-4:2014, there are a number of "Configurations" that can be used depending on the primary element being tested. Configuration 5, which is used to assess the perimeter seal in application and focuses on the ability of containing the fire inside the compartment, utilises higher temperatures and pressures. All Siderise BS EN 1364-4:2014 testing is carried out in accordance with Configuration 5.

While existing test data is unlikely to replicate specific project details, Siderise have tested to BS EN 1364-4:2014 with a number of different curtain wall systems with CW-FB Fireboard in both single and double-layer arrangements.

On this basis, and to reflect the tested arrangement, Siderise recommends that the CW-FB is applied to the curtain wall in line with the CW-FB Installation Instructions wherever the CW-FS Firestop is being used in a horizontal orientation to the rear of a curtain wall. However, in instances where the project does not intend to utilize the CW-FB, we suggest consulting with the Supervising Authorities to ensure they accept the proposed application.

BS EN 1364-4:2014 testing has been undertaken on a curtain wall system incorporating CW-FS120 in accordance with EAD 350141-00-1106, including horizontal movement cycling to 500 times (±10% of void width) pre-test (UL Test 4789510602-1, Oct 2021).

Following the route set out in the EAD for horizontal movement cycling pre-test followed by testing to BS EN 1364-4:2014 is the most demanding and relevant way of assessing the performance of firestops for commercially available ‘Type A’ curtain walls.

CW-FS has also been tested in isolation to BS EN 1366-4:2006+A1:2010 “Fire resistance tests for service installations - Linear joint seal” in both horizontal and vertical orientations.

Approved Document B (England & Wales versions)

Approved Document B for England (2019 edition) & Wales (2006 edition) gives classification to BS EN 13501-2:2023 as the primary route to compliance via BS EN 1364-4 testing for perimeter seals/fire stops in curtain wall systems in a horizontal orientation.

BS EN 1366-4:2006+A1:2010 testing is also available for Siderise CW in isolation of the curtain wall, where Siderise CW-FS is tested between two leaves of concrete. This standard is applicable to firestops tested for curtain wall applications in a vertical orientation. BS EN 1366-4:2006+A1:2010 is also applicable for non-curtain wall applications in both horizontal and vertical orientations.

For any voids not covered by Tables 2-4, please contact technical.services@siderise.com for advice on these options.

Acoustic Performance

Additionally, the CW-FS range of barriers are acoustically absorptive. 

Furthermore, the foil facings and the additional sealing of joints with Siderise foil tape all serve to provide improved airtightness.

Sound reduction between floors

The installation of the CW systems within an external curtain wall cavity can increase the floor-to-floor attenuation.

The acoustic flanking performance of a curtain wall detail will depend on the specifics of the construction. When incorporated between mass lines that close the slab-edge void, such as the Siderise AB10 overlay and CVB/C-10 cavity barrier, the CW-FS range can provide an absorptive layer which can increase the overall acoustic performance of the detail.

Table 5 confirms the laboratory tested values for Weighted Sound Reduction Index (dB Rw) in accordance with BS EN ISO 10140-2:2021; Acoustics-Laboratory measurement of sound insulation of building elements, Part 2: Measurement of airborne sound insulation.

Siderise offers a range of complementary acoustic mass overlay materials which can further enhance the overall acoustic performance of the construction.

The Siderise AB10 is a flexible acoustic membrane for use as a mass-barrier above Siderise CW-FS fire stops in curtain walls. Using this acoustic upgrade offers an improvement to the acoustic performance of the firestop. Incorporating mass barriers such as the Siderise AB10 into slab-edge details can assist with controlling floor-to-floor sound transmission.

 

Siderise AB10 is quick to install and is suitable for use in all curtain walls. The product is thin, flexible, and is designed to accommodate façade movement, unlike traditional mass-barrier materials such as steel or plasterboard.
 

As the AB10 is sold as an acoustic upgrade for our CW-FS firestops, we have not tested its standalone performance. However, for the purposes of assessment by project acoustic consultants, the Weighted Sound Reduction index (dB Rw) of the mass barrier layer alone is presented below (Table 6).

Movement

Movement Characteristics-Curtain walling and external facade deflection

For curtain walling applications it is imperative that the installed firestop can function effectively with due regard to all designed movement serviceability limits.

Siderise recognises that curtain walling and cladding façade systems will deflect due to:

  • Positive wind-load 
  • Negative wind-load
  • Occupational live load 

The above are covered by BS EN 13116:2001.

Typically, a project may stipulate that the curtain walling system may have the following allowable deflection limits:
 
Under the declared wind loads the maximum frontal deflection of the curtain walling framing members shall not exceed L/200 or 15mm, whichever is less; when measured between the points of support or anchorage to the building structure in compliance with BS EN 13116. [Extract from BS EN 13830]


For vertical applications where the façade deflection may be up to 15mm, we recommend that you calculate the design deflection of the external façade system in both positive and negative wind load situations. Then follow Tables 2 to 4 + the additional design deflection of the system if required. Additional material allowances should be included whenever façade deflection is anticipated beyond the product compression requirement. For example, with a maximum expected façade deflection of 15mm:
 
Void Width + 10% Compression + Facade Deflection
For 180mm void = 180mm +18mm + 15mm  =  213mm of CW-CB/ CW-FS
Where the required compression of the firestop is greater than 10%, we suggest trialling the installation on-site to ensure it can be installed, as feasibility will vary depending on the void width.
 
These factors may inevitably combine to preclude the suitability and therefore the use of certain other systems e.g. high-density material slab products.
 
However, the CW-FS fire stop systems are remarkably effective for their function within curtain walling as the unique material construction can accept the cyclical negative and positive wind and live loads imposed on the façade.

FAQs

Find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions

Do you offer product installation training?

Yes, our site services engineers combine classroom learning with toolbox training and includes mock-up benchmark installations, free-of-charge.

What void sizes are available?

Our void sizes vary depending on the product, required fire resistance, test standard and installation compression. You can view the available void sizes on each product’s technical data sheet.  

Do I need to apply sealant above the Siderise CW-FS Curtain Wall Firestop and CW-CB Cavity Barrier?

CW-FS Firestop and CW-CB Cavity Barrier is a dry-fix solution. This means it does not require additional sealant to achieve its certified fire resistance performance.  

Can I make penetrations in the CW-FS Firestop and CW-CB Cavity Barrier?

The products have been tested without any penetrations. If you can’t avoid penetrations, contact our Technical Services team who will be able to provide you with guidance.  

What is Lamella?

Siderise created Lamella insulation in the 1990s to provide a fire resistant core that could also withstand building movement for reliable form and fit. Learn more about the technology.
