Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Aluminium systems are commonly available at 30 and 60 minutes; higher ratings are less common and may point to a steel system instead.

Head details and fixing centres come from the system documentation, especially beneath long-span slabs.
