Cavity Barriers Layout Part 2. Cavity Closers in Horizontal Compartmentation

This course looks at cavity closers as a mean of horizontal compartmentation for ventilated cavities of external cladding in accordance with the current normative base (2020). The façade type is a rainscreen cladding with punched openings. The case study areas include zones of hypothetical façade bay with balconies and parapets. The compliance of the façade was achieved with all standard systems that are available in most profile system suppliers. Detail drawings, videos and explanatory clips explain buildability, thermal performance, compliance, as well as the assembly-specific aspects for the spandrel zone and zero threshold.
