Site Assistant

Construction question

UK context

Do I need to follow the cavity barrier detail from the manufacturer if the building control drawings do not show it?

Short answer: probably yes. Building control drawings do not normally override the manufacturer’s tested system requirements or warranty provider expectations.

You should check the specific cavity barrier product installation guide, the relevant fire-safety guidance and any warranty technical manual that applies to the plot.
