  Product Description

  The Manthorpe G249F Half-Hour Fire Rated Cavity Closer has been designed for use where a fire barrier is required to seal cavities around window and door reveals of a building.

  The unique compressible clip feature allows the product to compress into the cavity creating a continuous seal to any varying width. The enclosed box design incorporates a fibre insulating core which provides an economical solution to cold bridging as it acts as a thermal cavity closer, as well as a DPC and half-hour fire barrier.

  It is manufactured in white in four sizes which suit cavity widths from 50mm to 130mm. It can easily be installed either in new build or refurbishment situations with no special fixing requirements or tools.

  The Manthorpe G249F Half Hour Fire Rated Cavity Closer has been designed to comply with Building Regulations Part L and Scottish Technical Standards Part D.

  The product is composed of a rigid extruded UPVC section with unique variable clip feature and compressed mineral fire wool insulation.
