WHY THE SANCTUARY TWO-HOUR FIREWALL IS SUPERIOR

Originally rated by Underwriters Laboratory in 2002, the SANCTUARY® Two-Hour Firewall uses Greenfiber® FRM spray-applied cellulose insulation for a defect-free installation, currently available in select markets.

  • Streamlined Installation

    Because Greenfiber FRM insulation is blown in after the roof goes up, conventional framing is possible. That means, in addition to being protected from the elements, the SANCTUARY Two-Hour Firewall allows all trades to work simultaneously, which normalizes the sequence of construction.

  • Improved Compliance

    To meet stringent energy efficiency codes, the SANCTUARY Two-Hour Firewall utilizes spray-applied Greenfiber FRM Insulation that completely fills gaps, voids and hard-to-reach places, reducing unintended airflow. This lowers the air changes per hour, eliminating customer callbacks.

  • Enhanced Comfort for Homeowners

    Because the SANCTUARY Two-Hour Firewall fills gaps so completely, sounds and odors are blocked between neighboring units. Homeowners have much more control over their own indoor air quality, which allows them to live more comfortably.

Assembly

The SANCTUARY Two-Hour Firewall is constructed of two opposing and offset studded walls. Studs on each wall are set to standard 16 inches on center distance. When offset, the actual distance between opposing studs is 8 inches on center, creating an 8-inch cavity into which Greenfiber FRM Insulation is spray-applied.

The SANCTUARY Two-Hour Firewall is perfect for townhomes due to faster construction, reduction of unintended airflow and minimized trade activity. Its high STC 61 rating also makes it one of the most effective sound blocking firewalls available to the building industry.
