    Hi - wondering if anyone can shed any light on this for me ..
    Have a single storey timber framed structure, with cavity barriers in place at compartment walls but not around openings (windows).

    Can anyone point me in the direction of regulation which stipulates, if cavity fire barriers are required in a timber frame structure (single storey, purpose group 2a) around openings ie windows?

    Or even opinions?!

    In a TF Structure my opinion is around all openings and penetrations such as boiler flues, vent ducts and along all compartment lines.
