Why we need Injectaclad | The reason

Injectaclad can reinstate a buildings reinstate the fire resistance performance of wall and floor construction cavity details, where linear gaps are present within hidden voids that can allow fire and smoke to pass through from one compartment to another.

Whilst new buildings have a cavity fire barrier built at construction phase, existing structures have increasingly been found to have missing or defective cavity fire barriers and therefore posing a greater risk of fire spreading from one compartment of the structure to another. 

Traditional methods of reinstating or introducing cavity fire barriers involve the removal of the external façade, a process that is time consuming. This may involve scaffolding the whole building for long periods of time and significant waste, is an unclean method causing distress for residents and is extremely costly. 

The cost savings against more traditional methods of reinstating cavity fire barriers are beneficial to  building owners and leaseholders. The speed of installation means that more buildings can be protected in a shorter timeframe, giving peace of mind to the residents.

Injectaclad can help keep costs down for retrospectively installing cavity barriers in high rise buildings. This solution minimises disruption for occupiers and avoiding the need for façade removal.
