Penetrations through the external walls of low-rise houses: The ARC TCB Square cavity barrier is designed for use around penetrations through the external walls of low-rise houses. It provides fire resistance by helping to prevent the spread of flames and smoke through cavities. Additionally, it helps maintain thermal integrity by reducing heat loss around penetrations. The barrier is shaped to fit around these penetrations, facilitating installation. It is compliant with building regulations related to fire safety and thermal performance and also offers moisture resistance to protect against water ingress. The ARC TCB Square is suitable for various wall constructions in low-rise housing.

• What is ARC TCB Square? - ARC TCB Square is a thermal cavity barrier designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke in cavity walls. It also helps reduce thermal bridging in square-shaped cavities, ensuring improved energy efficiency and fire safety
• How do you install ARC TCB Square? - ARC TCB Square is installed within the cavity of external walls, typically at junctions where a square-shaped cavity occurs. It should be fitted tightly between the inner and outer leaves of the wall to ensure an effective barrier against fire and thermal bridging.
• Where can ARC TCB Square be used? - ARC TCB Square is suitable for use in masonry cavity walls, particularly in locations where square-shaped cavities are present. It is commonly used in residential and commercial buildings to enhance fire safety and thermal performance.
• How does ARC TCB Square improve building performance? - By reducing thermal bridging, ARC TCB Square enhances the overall thermal efficiency of the building, leading to lower energy consumption. It also provides crucial fire protection, helping to contain and slow down the spread of fire in cavity walls.
