Abstract
A fire barrier assembly includes a fire barrier, mounting elements and securement elements. The mounting elements are positioned along the length of the fire barrier on an inner surface of the fire barrier. The mounting elements engage one or more of the securement elements to the fire barrier. When installed within an expansions space, the securement elements are used to tension mount the fire barrier assembly securely and generally immovably within the expansion space, without the need for any mechanical, adhesive, or other fixed connection to anchor the fire barrier assembly in place. As such, no modification to the building structures defining the expansion space (e.g. no drilling holes, applying adhesive, etc.) is need to mount the fire barrier assembly. If desired, the fire barrier assembly may easily be detached and removed from the expansion space.
