Mayplas MP552 Masonry Cavity Stop Sock is designed to prevent passage of fire through concealed voids within the external fabric of a masonry wall construction.
The polythene enclosed rockfibre barrier is manufactured in bespoke sizes to suit the specified cavity width.
The barrier is held in place under compression between the inner block work and outer masonry leaf.
