AIM – Acoustic & Insulation Manufacturing has introduced a new CPD module for architects and specifiers looking at cavity barriers in rainscreen cladding. The one-hour module covers Passive Fire Protection and the updated regulations that cover fire cavity barriers, as well as exploring the use of other products fixed to or part of facades.

Designed to develop the knowledge and understanding of architects and specifiers, the module explains in which order and how products should be installed. It considers fire testing and the difference between ‘Resistance’ to and ‘Reaction’ to Fire and the corresponding terminology. The use of barriers for achieving fire compartmentation within the external wall is also examined with reference to Association of Specialist Fire Protection (ASFP) advice.

The CPD module draws on AIM’s 35 years’ experience in the design, manufacturing and testing of high-quality passive fire insulation products and is presented by AIM’s specification manager Simon Mayes. Simon has 20 years’ specification experience in the construction industry working for manufacturers including British Gypsum, Saint Gobain Isover, Komfort, Cembrit, Siderise and Proteus Waterproofing liaising with architects, designers and main contractors regarding supply of fire, acoustic and thermal products.

The module is available either online or in person.

Commenting on AIM’s CPD module attendee Nigel Marcoolyn, Founding Director, Architect and RIBA Client Design Advisor, Made Architects, said, “Attending a CPD on passive fire protection is not just about enhancing knowledge - it's about further equipping ourselves with the tools to safeguard lives, protect property, and contribute to a safer, more resilient built environment.”

A member of the ASFP, AIM Acoustic & Insulation Manufacturing designs and manufactures third party tested fire, thermal and acoustic insulation products, offering a range of standard products and products produced to customer specification.
