Proctor Fireshield is a revolutionary, fire-retardant vapour permeable walling underlay, designed to provide superior fire protection for the modern building envelope. This intumescent coated vapour permeable membrane sets a new standard in fire safety for walling applications. Key Features Advanced Intumescent Coating: Fireshield features a unique intumescent coating on its surface. When exposed to a fire or flame, this intumescent coating helps protect the substrate by reducing the risk of fire taking hold and reduces the formation of droplets and smoke, enhancing occupant safety during a fire event. Vapour Permeable: As a high-performance vapour-permeable membrane, Fireshield allows moisture vapour to escape from the wall assembly, reducing the risk of condensation and protecting the building structure from moisture damage. Simple Installation: This walling underlay is installed and fixed to the substrate in the same manner as standard breather membranes, using mechanical fixings. Applications Fireshield is a versatile permeable walling underlay that offers enhanced fire protection across a wide range of projects. Versatile Walling Applications: Fireshield is suitable for all walling applications, including those with timber frames or over OSB sheathing, providing an essential layer of fire defense for the structure. Rainscreen and Cladding Systems: It is the ideal membrane for use on walls behind cladding. It is especially critical for rainscreen facade systems on multiple storey buildings, including residential projects, where stringent fire safety and compliance are paramount.
