THATCH-SAFE® Fire Barrier
 

Meets the same Building Regulations as the Dorset Model

THATCH-SAFE® is a flexible, insulating fire barrier which sits on the rafters and under the thatch. This provides a barrier between the thatch and the roof structure with no counter battening required due to the breathability of THATCH-SAFE®.

THATCH-SAFE® is flexible so it can be wrapped around the chimney (a major cause of thatch fires is due to heat transfer from the chimney).

Joints are overlapped and fixed with the usual battens required for the thatch to be fixed to, so it is a simple and effective solution, easily applied.

Benefits over Fireboards

• Truly Breathable Membrane - (if your roof does not catch fire) it maximises the lifespan of your thatch because it reduces the chance of premature rot
• Fast and Easy to Fit
• Lightweight and Flexible
• Great for non-regular roofs, e.g. listed buildings

Thatch-Safe® has been assessed by LABC (the national representative body for Local Authority Building Control) and been given type approval as a way of achieving compliance with fire resistance.
