Rytons A1® Fire-rated AirLiner® Cross-cavity Sleeves

General Details

Features and Benefits:

  • Custom-made cross-cavity AirLiner® sleeves in sizes 9×3, 9×6 and 9×9.
  • Popular brick sizes for easy installation using standard mortar joints.
  • Manufactured from A1 classified galvanised steel.
  • If required, three air brick styles meet different design, airflow and vent placement requirements in buildings. For cladding, flanged options cover cut edges to maintain the external appearance.
  • Air bricks provide high air flows whilst maintaining low resistance.
  • Air bricks supplied custom powder coated to Class A2-s1, d0. Choose from the RAL Classic colour chart in matt, semi-gloss or gloss finishes to match cladding or brickwork. Signature architectural finishes are also available.
  • Built-in weather protection. Drainage holes in the air brick provide discreet water outlets, and louvred styles feature angled grilles to promote runoff, reducing the risk of water transfer into the duct.
  • Suitable for:
  • The external walls of high-rise relevant buildings over 18m high (11m high in Scotland).
  • The external walls of relevant buildings 11m+ in height or more than 5 storeys, undergoing unsafe cladding remediation work (Building Safety Act 2022).
  • The external walls of higher-risk buildings at least 18m high or with at least 7 storeys (Building Safety Act 2022).
  • The external surfaces of residential purpose group buildings more than 11m high.
  • The external surfaces of residential purpose group buildings 11m high or less where an external wall is within 1m of the relevant boundary.
  • All other residential and non-residential buildings.
  • Telescopic fitting air brick allows the overall length of the AirLiner® to be extended during installation giving the flexibility to handle minor variations in the external façade.

  • No on-site assembly required.
  • AirLiner® sleeve supplied with factory fixed joints and seals.
  • Bespoke design service available – call our technical sales office on 01536 511874 or email admin@rytons.com.
