DESCRIPTION:
VEDAFEU C rope firestop system consists of a core of fireproof and rot-proof mineral fibers bound by an outer braiding of fiberglass thread. They are resistant to water and humidity, as well as to most aggressive chemicals and micro-organisms. VEDAFEU C rope fire-stop system meets norms for horizontal and vertical joints: tested without sealant and with a movement of +20%, they come in diameters from 12 mm to 180 mm and are EI 240 (fire integrity and thermal insulation of 240 minutes without failure) rated for all joints with gaps from 10 mm to 200 mm.
INSTALLATION:
• Fire-stop in horizontal and vertical joints: floor, wall and ceiling joints, joints between prefabricated facade elements, joints between floor edges and prefabricated facades. • For fire partitions, conduit penetrations, services ducts, protection of neoprene supports. • Sealing of joints on masonry edges: fire barrier between floors and curtain walls (see Application Examples). For the installation of cords, refer to the Installation Instructions no. 1 and no. 2 that are validated by the relevant classification certifications. Suitable for any type of building: hospitals, office, industrial and residential buildings, hotels, shopping centers, car parks, schools, colleges, stations, airports, stadiums, etc.
FINISHES AND SPECIAL PIECES:
VEDAFEU C ropes are suitably marked so that they can be easily identified and an inspection after installation can confirm that the correct product has been used. Waterproofing & protection: Some floor, wall and ceiling expansion joints might require additional protection. For a waterproof joint, the upper section of the joint must be filled with an Elastoplast sealant (see data sheet flexsil), or a waterproof membrane must be applied to the joint (see data sheet EPDM-S Membrane). A joint cover, a flexible section or a mechanical joint can also close the expansion joint.
COMPOSING:
VEDAFEU C fire-stop systems consist of a core of fireproof and rot-proof mineral fibers bound by an outer braiding of fiberglass thread. Their specific weight varies with the diameter to ensure their flexibility and ease of compression.

VEDAFEU N
- COMPRESSIBILITY : UP TO – 75 %
- INSTALLATION: QUICK AND EASY
- ORIENTATION : HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL
- Tested and approved
- International certifications delivered by world renowned official and independent
DESCRIPTION:
Our VEDAFEU N fire stop joint range, including fire stop joint covers and fire blankets, conforms to several certifications in respect of horizontal and vertical joints. These fire stop joint covers are specially designed to ensure the fire integrity and gas-tightness of expansion joints with large gaps and/or large movements. Tested with movements of +50%, all our VEDAFEU N fire blankets have an EI classification for fire integrity and gas-tightness, in compliance with current European and French standards, including EN 13501-2 and EN 1366-4 norms. VEDAFEU N fire stop joint covers are available in several sizes to suit joint gaps from 100 mm to 840 mm.
INSTALLATION:
VEDAFEU N fire stop joint covers can be used for horizontal and vertical joints requiring fire stop joint protection, e.g. floor, wall and ceiling joints, joints between prefabricated facade elements, and seismic joints. They are also suitable for fire partitions, conduit penetrations, services ducts, protection of neoprene supports, and for joints on plate edges. VEDAFEU N fire stop joint covers must be installed in accordance with the approved instructions for the relevant classification certifications. VEDAFEU N systems provide effective protection for buildings that house works of art, as well as for hospitals, offices, industrial and residential buildings, hotels, shopping centers, car parks, schools, colleges, stations, airports, stadiums, and more.
FINISHES AND SPECIAL PIECES:
Our standard range is suitable for joints with initial gaps from 100 mm to 560 mm. Other widths are available on request.
COMPOSING:
The composition of VEDAFEU C N fire stop blankets and their method of installation are patented. Handling is easy and safe: VEDAFEU C N fire stop blankets do not contain any asbestos (which is a banned substance) or refractory ceramic fibers which are dangerous to health. This is because they are manufactured with long mineral fibers that exceed 6 microns in diameter and which cannot enter the respiratory tract, and are thus classified as not dangerous to health by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).
