Cassette Insert

Description

AIM Cassette Insert

An insert for cassette type cladding panels providing a suitable substrate for cavity barriers to abut.

PRODUCT

The AIM Cassette Insert is a cut strip of high density Rockwool Stonewool which is factory cut to suit the dimensions of the cassette cladding panel that it is required to fill.

The AIM Cassette Insert is applied to the inner surface of the cassette panel to provide a suitable surface for the cavity barrier to close up to by removing obstructions such as the returns on the sides of cassette panels.

APPLICATIONS

Cassette panels are a common rainscreen façade. This creates an issue with the installation and performance of cavity barriers. In the case of horizontal barriers, often with open state cavity barriers, the vertical rails, or the returns in the cassette panel prevent the free expansion of the intumescent strip.

Where a vertical cavity barrier (often a full fill cavity barrier) is used it cannot easily be notched to accept the panels without leaving gaps and voids. These gaps are invisible from the outside of the construction and may go un-noticed.

AIM Cassette Inserts may be used within Cassette Façade Panels to create a flat surface for the OSCB to close against or for the Wall Cavity Barrier to abut provide a tight and full seal.
