Solutions for Rainscreen

Cladding Systems
Design for use in the external
building envelope
Rainscreen claddings can be a high risk for fire spread
Rainscreen cladding systems are commonly used to give a
greater degree of aesthetics and design abilities to a building or
structure, allowing the designers more freedom and flexibility
with there design concepts.
Whilst rainscreen cladding systems exhibit numerous advantages
with regards to building physics, the underlining problem with an
‘Open state’ cavity system is achieving good compartmentation.
Complete system from one source
fischer SystemTec offers a complete system approach, designed
supporting anchors, a light weight framing system which consist
of support brackets, vertical and horizontal profiles, cladding support
A drained and ventilated facade (rainscreen) is designed to drain
any moisture within the façade construction efficiently whilst
maintaining a positive airflow, protected from direct weather
exposure and sunlight the façade allows the building to achieve
the highest possible efficiency.
As a positive airflow is a necessary requirement for a rainscreen
system the ventilation gap poses a potential problem which will
allow the fire to spread rapidly across the building envelope.
anchors, and a unique fire barrier system all meeting the highest
safety requirements.
Achieving compartmentation
in a building envelope

‘Open state‘ horizontal cavity barriers

fischer FFB VS VentiStop
Can provide up to a 50 mm ventilation gap behind the façade panel.
In the event of a fire, the gap will be closed by a powerful and spe-
cially formulated intumescent strip expanding.

Horizontal Cavity Barrier Vertical Cavity Barrier

External Corner
To all compartment floors At max. 600 mm centres
300 mm max.
(NB: max. 300 mm from corners)

Internal Corner
300 mm max.

Vertical Cavity Barrier Barrier

At edge of cavity To surround all openings

‘Closed state‘ verticle cavity barrier

fischer FCFcl Cavity Clad
Compartmentalizes vertically. It assists by helping ventilated facades to function by
maintaining air-pressurization and compartmentation.
The above is an example of barrier placement. Local or national building codes
should be consulted in design.

Note: Stated positions are examples and subject to actual design and building codes
Technical details
Fire performance
fischer FFB VS VentiStop ‘Open state’ horizontal cavity
barriers consist of a non-combustible stonewool core, which
is encased in a reinforced aluminium foil scrim. A continuous
powerful intumescent graphite strip is bonded to the exposed
face and pre-wrapped with a durable polythene adhesive sheet to
prevent water ingress.
Under fire condition, the powerful intumescent graphite strip
rapidly expands horizontally to fully close the ventilation gap
designed and formed at time of installation.
This unique component offers excellent resistance to both fire and
smoke.
fischer FFB VS VentiStop ´Open state´ horizontal cavity
barriers have been successfully tested up to 60 minutes
integrity and 60 minutes Insulation, utilising the general
principles of BS 476: Part 20: 1987, and 90 minutes integrity
and 30 minutes insulation utilising the heating and pressure

fischer FCFcl Cavity Clad has been designed for
rainscreen cladding to full fill the void between the external
envelope and the fabric of the building. By fully sealing
the void, they assist ventilated facades to function by
maintaining air-pressurisation and compartmentation.
A unique one piece closed dimension stone wool core
provides a resilient lateral compression and commodate

rainscreen facades.
Encased with an aluminium foil face scrim to provide
class ‘O’ reaction to fire rating and provides excellent
resistance to smoke and weathering.
