Need Help Choosing a Tenmat Cavity Barrier or Fire Sleeve?
Tenmat products are tested in defined cavity, façade and penetration arrangements. Product selection should match the cavity or service dimensions, supporting construction, installation orientation and the applicable Tenmat test, certification or field-of-application evidence.

PASSIVE FIRE PROTECTION
Tenmat Cavity Barriers and Penetration Fire Protection
Tenmat is a Greater Manchester-based manufacturer of passive fire protection products. Its wider manufacturer range covers several passive fire protection applications, while the Tenmat products currently offered by Fire Protection Direct are centred on open-state ventilated cavity barriers and a preformed vent duct penetration fire sleeve.
FF102 products use high-expansion intumescent technology within tested ventilated cavity barrier systems. During normal service the required ventilation opening is retained, while the intumescent element is designed to expand during fire as part of the tested barrier arrangement. FF102/25 and FF102/50 must each be selected against their own current test and field-of-application evidence rather than treated as full-fill barriers or interchangeable products.
Tenmat's FF109 intumescent material is also used in preformed penetration products including the FF109 Vent Duct Fire Sleeve Low Profile. For cavity barriers and penetration sleeves alike, the relevant dimensions, supporting construction and installation arrangement must follow current Tenmat technical and installation documentation.

APPLICATION GUIDANCE
Tenmat Cavity Barrier and Penetration Applications
Tenmat cavity barriers and penetration products must be selected against the applicable tested configuration. Product names alone do not establish suitability for a particular cavity, façade build-up, service penetration or supporting construction.
The table summarises the main applications represented by the Tenmat products currently available from Fire Protection Direct. It is general guidance only and is not a project specification.
Always verify the current Tenmat test evidence, certification, field-of-application information and installation instructions before installation.
| Application | Typical requirement | Relevant Tenmat products |
|---|---|---|
| Open-state ventilated cavity up to the range covered by FF102/25 | Horizontal ventilated-cavity installation matching the tested façade construction and current Tenmat field of application. | FF102/25 |
| Larger open-state ventilated cavity within the FF102/50 tested range | Select according to cavity width, remaining air gap, substrate and current field-of-application evidence. Tested performance varies according to the external-wall construction and applicable configuration. | FF102/50 |
| PVC ventilation duct / pipe penetration through a fire-rated construction | Use the correct sleeve size and tested wall or construction configuration. Fire performance depends on the supporting construction and the documented installation arrangement. | FF109 Vent Duct Fire Sleeve Low Profile |
TECHNICAL RESOURCES
Tenmat Technical Resources & Product Selection
Tenmat provides technical product information, test and certification documentation, installation guidance and selection resources for its passive fire protection systems. Use the current manufacturer documentation for the precise cavity, façade or penetration configuration being assessed.
Manufacturer product-selection tools can help identify potentially relevant systems, but they do not replace project specification or verification that the selected test or field-of-application evidence covers the actual site condition.
TECHNICAL GUIDANCE
Tenmat Tested Systems and Installation Guidance
Tenmat passive fire protection products form tested systems. The cavity or penetration type, relevant dimensions, supporting construction, installation orientation, product size and fixing arrangement can all affect whether the supporting test or field-of-application evidence applies.
- Establish whether the application is a ventilated cavity barrier or a service penetration requiring a fire sleeve.
- Measure the relevant cavity, remaining air gap, service or penetration dimensions required by the manufacturer documentation.
- Identify the supporting wall, façade or other construction and the relevant installation orientation.
- Match the application to current test, certification and field-of-application evidence for the specific Tenmat product.
- Follow the current Tenmat installation instructions exactly, including the documented product positioning, fixing and associated components.
What Information Should I Provide?
For product guidance, it helps to provide the main details of the cavity or penetration:
- Cavity barrier or penetration application
- Cavity width or penetration dimensions
- Required ventilation / open-state condition
- Façade or wall construction
- Supporting substrate
- Horizontal or vertical orientation
- Service type and dimensions where relevant
- Required fire performance
- Existing Tenmat test or field-of-application reference if known
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Tenmat Fire Protection FAQs
Tenmat FF102 cavity barriers are used within tested open-state cavity barrier systems for ventilated façade cavities. They are designed to retain a ventilation gap in normal conditions while the intumescent component reacts during fire. Selection must match the cavity dimensions, façade construction, orientation, fixing arrangement and current Tenmat test or field-of-application evidence.
FF102/25 and FF102/50 are different Tenmat ventilated cavity barrier products intended for different tested cavity configurations. They should be selected from the applicable Tenmat test, certification and field-of-application information rather than treated as interchangeable products.
An open-state cavity barrier is designed to maintain a ventilation gap within a façade cavity during normal service. In a fire, its intumescent component expands to close the opening as part of the tested cavity barrier system. The applicable cavity width, remaining air gap, substrate and fixing arrangement must follow the relevant tested detail.
The Tenmat FF109 Vent Duct Fire Sleeve Low Profile is a preformed penetration product used within tested systems around suitable PVC ventilation ducts or pipes passing through fire-rated constructions. The sleeve size, supporting construction and installation configuration must match the current Tenmat technical evidence.
