ARC U-Barrier is compressed between the top of the spandrel panel and underside of the roof covering, creating a fire and thermal break. NHBC 7.2.16 recommends a 25mm gap between the separating wall and the top of adjacent roof trusses, which should be filled with mineral wool. ARC U-Barrier satisfies this recommendation.
ARC U-Barrier is designed to be fitted across the top of the spandrel panel underneath the
roof covering. Installation is easy, the barrier simply push fits over the top of the spandrel panel. Lengths of ARC U-Barrier should be butted tightly together, with care taken to ensure no gaps remain.
Key Features:
- Enhances fire protection at the junction between the spandrel panel and roof.
- Easy to install before the spandrel panel is fitted.
- Use in conjunction with ARC Spandrel Barrier to provide complete fire stopping around the spandrel panel.
- Complies with building regulations and NHBC 7.2.16.
- U-Barrier has a Green Guide rating of A+.
