ColourPicker Explained

In general we sort colours for products into 2 main groups - ‘Ready Mixed’ and ‘Tinted’.
Tinted colours will always be more expensive than Ready Mixed colours as they need to be produced at the time of order using a tinting machine dispensing colourant into a base*.
During busy periods, this means that tinted colours could take longer, for example – a ready mixed colour ordered on a 3-5 day delivery might arrive within 3 days, however a tinted colour might take the full 5 days to arrive.

To find Ready Mixed colours, search "ready mixed" or select the Ready Mixed 'colour chart'. To see Tinted colours select a colour chart such as RAL, BS, NCS, etc. or search for a colour/hue to see available or related options.

To ensure fair pricing, we split colours into ‘Price Bands’ to group together similar priced colours. If you wish to search for the cheapest tinted colours, always select Price Band 1.

We make every effort to list all available colours, however we also offer a colour match service which can be accessed by contacting our Technical Team on 0113 245 5450 (option 2) or emailing [email protected]

*Colours are sold in the nearest tin size but actual paint volume per tin may vary up to 10% depending on colour

Colour reproduction of the Products on the Site is limited by the technology used to deliver web pages and by the colour representation of Customer’s own monitor and computer set-up.

We recommend that Customer first purchases the smallest Product available or access an industry standard colour chart in person (and not digitally) to ensure that the colour is acceptable for its purposes.

Description

General Fitting Instructions

Tenmat’s VFB 60/60 Ventilated Fire Barriers are “open state” cavity fire barriers designed to offer fire resistance performance within external wall cavities that require permanent (open-state) ventilation in non-fire conditions.

Maximum free air gap for this cavity barrier is 25mm, the space in front of the intumescing strip on the face of the cavity barrier to the rear of the external wall surface.

Open state cavity barriers should be installed in a continuous run, (with the exception of abutting up to full fill vertical cavity barriers). Where this is not possible, details should be agreed with the projects principal designer and or fire engineer.

Horizontal cavity barriers should be installed adjacent and tightly abutted to any vertical cavity barriers, the vertical cavity barriers should be installed first.

Cavity barriers may be cut to length as required, adjacent lengths must be tightly abutted together. The intumescing face of the cavity barrier should be unrestricted and free to expand in a fire situation, fully filling the cavity.

An identification label is attached to the intumescing face of the cavity barrier, ensure this faces out into the open cavity. Also ensure the label is visible and legible and reads the right way up.

If the identification label is not legible please contact Tenmat, the label is important in terms of identifying the product in the future, for example during fire risk assessments or fire safety inspections.

Cavity barrier fixing brackets, both multi purpose, (MP bracket) or high performance (HP bracket) must not penetrate through the face of the cavity barrier. Screws for direct fixing and fixings to secure brackets are not supplied by Tenmat.

The brackets used to fix the horizontal cavity barrier must be installed with the spike inserted centrally (horizontally) to the rock mineral wool section of the cavity barrier with the bracket fixed above and not below the cavity barrier.

The use of tape is not required over the joints between the lengths of cavity barrier, and if used should not be applied over the face of intumescent material.

The cavity barrier must be installed following the installation methods described below. The cavity barrier must not be penetrated by any other mechanical or electrical services.
