Cavity Fire Barriers
FIREFLY Cavity Barriers, have been developed to provide compartmentation of structures, typically within roof voids and above suspended ceilings.

Penetration Management
FIREFLY have developed a unique, fully tested Penetration Management system. The Collar and Collaroll are suitable for situations where penetrations or multiple penetrations pass through the Barrier. If these penetrations were not “sealed-off”, fire and smoke would easily pass through the gaps made by the pipes, electric cables, cable trays etc. etc.
The collars and collarolls have a flange attached, which when installed correctly, sits flush up against the barrier providing a complete seal. The individual Collar is supplied 1 metre in length x 300mm depth x 90mm flange, this collar is suitable for penetrations of up to 300mm diameter.
The Collaroll is supplied 10 metres in length x 300mm depth x 90 mm flange, this roll is suitable for multiple penetrations, and is more cost effective to use, as there is very little wastage because the collars can be cut to the exact size required.
Both products are Green in colour and are not supplied in any other colour.
Training
In tune with the needs of the Industry and possible future legislation concerning the installation of passive fire protection materials, FIREFLY are providing professional and comprehensive training to Contractors to install FIREFLY products. It is absolutely imperative that passive fire protection products are installed correctly, and with this in mind the FIREFLY Training Course was developed.
The Training Course is both LPCB and FIRAS Approved.
