MARCH 05 - Z-LED HELPS MEET THREE BUILDING REGULATIONS IN ONE GO

A new type of cavity tray that can eliminate the need for on-site testing for sound resistance, and meet Regulatory requirements with regard to spread of fire in cavity wall construction has been launched by Z-Led Ltd.

Developed specifically to meet three Building Regulation requirements in one product, the Acoustic Cavity Fire Barrier with Integral Cavity Tray provides 30 minutes fire integrity, 15 minutes insulation integrity and provides complete cavity tray protection whilst contributing to the reduction of sound transmission in wall cavities in multi-occupancy developments. The fire performance ensures compliance with Building Regulation Approved Document B, whilst the acoustic benefit meets Building Regulation Approved Document E1, and, when installed as per Robust Details, eliminates the need for on-site testing.

Designed for use in double skin masonry or timber frame buildings, the tray can be used either horizontally or vertically, in cavities ranging from 50mm- 100mm wide.

Environmentally friendly, the tray is manufactured from virgin polypropylene and is re-cycleable, whilst the integral fire barrier contains glass wool made from naturally occurring minerals and recycled glass. The combination gives a strong, durable product that is not easily damaged in transit or on site, will not rot, promote mould growth, nor absorb any water.

The Z-Led Acoustic Cavity Fire Barrier with Integral Cavity Tray is available in three colour-coded cavity widths- 50-60mm in yellow, 66-80mm in blue and 81-100mm in white.

Z-Led is part of the Building Product Design Group, which specializes in roofing and ventilation products. A continuous programme of research and development ensures the company brings to market innovative yet practical products in line with changing requirements.
