Bridgehill FireBlock Products

We Simply Block Fire

Easy to install – on any roof. FireBlock is a fire-resistant roof membrane installed beneath rooftop solar panels to prevent flames, radiant heat, and embers from spreading into the roof structure. The membrane is rolled out above or below the existing roofing and integrates seamlessly into both new construction and retrofit projects. Suitable for flat and pitched roofs, FireBlock adds a documented passive fire barrier without changing standard roofing practices.
Membrane Material 1
Bridgehill® Fire Membran for solar panels
Bridgehill FireBlock Membrane is a fire-resistant underlayment engineered for installation beneath solar panels. Its purpose is to stop fires from spreading from the panels into the roof structure. In the event of a solar panel fire, the membrane acts as a barrier, blocking flames and radiant heat while safeguarding insulation, timber, and other combustible materials within the roof assembly.

Membrane Material 2
Fire-Resistant Roofing for Modern Buildings
As rooftop solar installations increase, traditional roofing systems face new fire exposure risks. FireBlock enhances roof resilience by adding a dedicated fire barrier within the roof assembly, helping limit structural damage and improve overall building fire performance without redesigning the roof system.

Technology
How it works
When exposed to extreme heat, the membrane rapidly expands to form a thick, insulating barrier layer. This reaction is triggered by intumescent technology built into the material, causing controlled expansion that increases the membrane’s volume and thermal resistance. As the material expands, it blocks flame penetration, reduce heat transfer, and limit the spread of hot gases into the underlying roof assembly. The result is a temporary but highly effective fire barrier that protects insulation and structural components during critical stages of a fire event.

Active Expansion

When exposed to extreme heat, the membrane rapidly expands to form an insulating barrier layer. This reaction is triggered by intumescent technology built into the material.

Thermal Shielding

The expansion creates a dense, heat-resistant barrier that prevents flames, radiant heat, and hot gases from reaching the insulation and structural layers below.

Roof Preservation

By blocking thermal transfer, the membrane helps maintain the integrity of the roof deck, preventing ignition of combustible materials and structural collapse.

Fre Safety Layer

Bridgehill FireBlock Membrane functions as a fire safety layer, protecting roof structures from wildfire heat and wind-driven embers.
