Fire rated cavity closer for window and door reveals.

Key Features

»»Up to one hour fire integrity »» Closes cavity around window and door reveals in larger cavities up to 300mm »» Prevents cold bridging »» Helps eliminate moisture, mould and staining from around windows and doors »» Insulated with foil faced noncombustible rockfibre »» For cavity widths from up to 300mm

Application

ARC Eco-Closer Plus closes wider cavities around window and door openings in masonry walls, providing up to one hour fire integrity. The rigid PVCu profile is insulated with foil faced non-combustible rockfibre mineral wool which provides fire, thermal and acoustic properties.

Fire properties

ARC Eco-Closer Plus has been fire tested at Warrington Fire Research, achieving up to one hour fire integrity with traditional masonry brick and block construction. These tests comply with BS 476: Part 20: 1987 Certifire scope: CF5410

Standards

ARC Eco-Closer Plus is insulated with rockfibre mineral wool which conforms to the BS EN 13162: 2001 Thermal Insulation Products for Buildings, Factory Made Mineral Wool Products specification, and has a thermal conductivity of 0.035W/mK.

Storage and Packaging

ARC Eco-Closers are supplied in branded polythene packs which offer protection during transport as well as providing ease of identification on-site.

Installation

ARC Eco-Closer Plus is easily installed. Cut the jamb profile to the height of the window or door opening plus 75mm to allow the bottom edges to drop into the cavity below the sill. Once the jamb sections are installed, measure the required width for the sill section and cut a length to butt tightly to the jamb sections. ARC Fixing Brackets should be used to mechanically fix Eco-Closer Plus to the inner blockwork, while ARC Brick Ties are then used to build the closer in as the externa brickwork progresses. We recommend a minimum of 2 of each is used per metre, or piece, whichever is shorter. If a longer length than 2.4m is required, the profile complete with insulation should carefully be cut using a hand saw. Lengths can then be tightly butted together, with care being taken to ensure no gaps remain.

Environment

No CFCs or HCFCs are involved in the manufacturing process of ARC’s rockfibre mineral wool insulation. The material presents no known threat to the environment and is classed as ODP and GWP zero. ARC Eco-Closers have a Green Guide rating of A+.
