Barricade FR

• Fire retardant

• Suitable for all wall cladding systems

• For use on timber or steel framed buildings

• The product is manufactured from high-quality synthetic spun-bonded material with high UV qualities and gives up to 60 days UV protection

• Small rolls for ease of installation (1.37 x 29.19 m)

• Custom branding available - fantastic exposure for your brand

Barricade FR may be used with all building classifications (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9), where the primary structure is timber or steel framing. It may be used in conjunction with: 

• a masonry veneer, or 

• absorbent and non-absorbent claddings direct fixed to framing or 

• absorbent and non-absorbent claddings fixed over an 18 mm (minimum) ventilated and drained cavity 

Suitable for use in non-cyclonic wind zones up to and including N3 and may be left exposed to UV for up to 60 days. 

Barricade FR has a flammability index of less than 5 and therefore an AS/NZS 4200.1 flammability index of Low. However, in bushfire-prone areas, the designer and/or installer must establish compliance with AS 3959. 

• Barricade FR must be installed, with the printed side out, in accordance with AS 4200.2:2017 - Pliable building membranes and underlays, Part 2: Installation. 

• Barricade FR shall be fixed at a maximum of 300mm centres using either; large-head clouts 20 mm long; 6-8 mm galvanised staples; self-drilling screws; or, proprietary underlay fixings. The membrane must be pulled taut over the framing before fixing. 

• Barricade FR must be run horizontally. Horizontal laps must be no less than 75 mm wide, with the direction of the lap ensuring that water is shed to the outer face of the membrane. End laps must be made over framing and be no less than 150 mm wide. Any joint lap less than 150mm shall be taped.

• Barricade FR must be restrained from bulging into the drained cavity. Installing Masons WrapStrap - horizontal at 300mm centres - prevents the wrap and insulation from bulging. 

• When fixing the product in windy conditions, care must be taken due to the large sail area created by wide roll widths. 

• Any damaged areas of Barricade FR, such as tears, holes or gaps around service penetrations, must be repaired. Damaged areas can be repaired by covering with new material lapping the damaged area by at least 150 mm and taping, or by taping small tears with Masons 40 Below™ Flashing Tape. 

Barricade FR flexible building wrap is for use as sarking on walls in order to provide vapour permeability to buildings, limit the entry of wind into building cavities and act as a secondary barrier to wind-driven rain. 

The wraps are categorized in accordance with AS/NZS 4200.1 as follows: 

• Light wall duty – Barricade FR (100gsm), Value (125gsm), UNI (180gsm) 

• Emittance – Infra-red non reflective 

• Water barrier 

• Vapour permeability – Class 4 vapour permeable 

• Low flammability 

They have also been tested to NZS 2295 and demonstrate that they are: 

• Absorbent, and 

• An Air Barrier
