(54) A firebreak barrier and roof divide system


(57) A barrier (1) for use in a gap (28) between structural members (25, 26, 27) to prevent the spread of fire is disclosed. The barrier comprises a barrier element (9) which moulds within a covering material (13) to take the form and shape of the underside of structural members, including any roofing material, to thereby form a seal between structural members. The invention has utility in a firebreak roof divide system for use between a roof and the party wall of a building for preventing the spread of fires across the gap at a roof junction. The firebreak divide comprises a locating means mounted on top of the party wall dividing two areas of the building, the locating means receiving the barrier element which extends upwardly to abut the roof.
