questions Luigi on 2024-04-12 08:21:35
Question: 

I'm hoping to use this product to fill a 50mm gap between concrete and a rainscreen system, will it be able to fit in that gap and can it be painted over afterwards?

Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:

No, this product is only tested for use between blockwork constructions.

For this type of application, a ventilated cavity barrier fitted behind rainscreen cladding would be recommended.

Please fill out the application form on the Astroflame Clad Ventilated Cavity Fire Barriers page to complete the application form.

Question: 

Would this product be suitable to seal the side of a concrete stair case please.

Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:

No, this product has been tested for use in movement joints (expansion joints), normally between 2 concrete/block elements, eg wall to wall, floor to floor, or block wall header to concrete floor soffit.

We have no testing data that indicates this product being used diagonally across a staircase.
