services for a safer built environment, globally. For over
25 years Siderise has been the UK’s leading manufacturer
of firestop and acoustic barrier systems for the façade
and curtain walling industry. Throughout the history of
the business, three fundamentals underpin our activity:
Insight, Ingenuity and Integrity.

Siderise products a flexibility of design. It’s these
attributes which provide optimum performance combined
with practical installation. Siderise uses insight from strong
and proactive customer and market relationships to
develop innovative products, resulting in a considerable

Developers and Installation Contractors. Siderise has
invested heavily in product testing over the last decade,
to ensure compliance with Building Regulators, industry
bodies and third-party certifiers.

Our Vision is to become global leaders in passive fire
solutions for the building envelope, establishing a position
as the supplier of choice to the world’s premier Architects,
Developers and Contractors.

Façades

Products RH/RV Cavity Barriers for Ventilated Cladding/Rainscreen

The Siderise RH/RV Cavity Barrier System represents the go-to choice
16 for high performance ‘Rainscreen Cladding Cavity Barrier’ applications.

RV Vertical Cavity Barriers are used to full-fill the void between the
external envelope and internal structure. The construction offers
excellent resistance to the passage of both smoke and fire. RH Open
State Horizontal Cavity Barriers are used in the external envelope of your
buildings where they ensure the system will drain freely whilst maintaining
airflow. However when its intumescent strip is activated by heat in the
event of a fire, it provides an effective hot smoke and fire seal essential to
prevent fire spread.

OSCI Open State Cassette Insert

The Siderise Open State Cassette Inserts (OSCI) are designed for use
in cassette panel cladding systems and are aligned with RH/RV Cavity
Barriers. OSCI can be used horizontally or vertically as part of a cladding
system and are applied directly to the internal surface of the cassette
panel. This simplifies the detailing and installation of adjacent cavity
barriers and/or to ensure that the ventilation air gap is dimensioned
within permissible limits.

CW-FS Perimeter Barriers and Firestops
for Curtain Walling

Siderise CW-FS Systems offer an extensive range including firestop,
smoke stop and sound barrier solutions for all applications. The primary
function of the CW System is to maintain continuity of fire resistance
by sealing the gap between the compartment floors or walls, and the
external curtain wall, both horizontally and vertically.

Masonry

EW Cavity Barriers and Firestops for External 17
Masonry Walls
Products
Siderise EW Systems have been developed to meet the
cavity barrier and firestop requirements of building regulations
for external masonry walls. EW Systems provide an effective fire
and acoustic barrier, are easy to install and suitable for use both
horizontally and vertically. Options are available for compression
fit or friction fit.

EWI Cavity Barriers and Firestops for External
Masonry Walls

Siderise EWI Systems have been specially developed via the
incorporation of an integral intumescent strip which, in the event
of fire, provides a reactive method of sealing masonry wall cavities
that have an irregular inner face to the outer masonry leaf. Like
EW, EWI is designed for both masonry and steel framing system
(SFS) constructions.

BB-CB – Balcony Bracket – Cavity Barrier

Siderise BB-CB provides a rapid solution to a complex detail
and allows continuity of cavity compartmentation when abutted
either side by Siderise Cavity Barriers. It’s also manufactured
from non-combustible Stonewool as a standalone material and
is covered in a reinforced aluminium foil.

Siderise Nexus Fusion for spandrel panels

Siderise Nexus Fusion offers both Specifiers and Manufacturers
