What's involved with fire-rated curtain walling in Ayr

We supply and install fire-rated curtain walling and fire-rated zones within standard curtain walling, alongside the fire-stopping at slab edges. External wall work is closely scrutinised after recent regulatory changes, so every element we fit is backed by evidence for its position.

  • External-grade fire glass
  • Fire-rated zones within mixed facades
  • Spandrel and opaque panel coordination
  • Tested fire-rated curtain wall systems

Before you order fire-rated curtain walling: what matters

External-grade glass

External fire glass must be suitable for UV and weather exposure, usually in a sealed double-glazed unit with the fire pane positioned as tested.

Slab edges

The gap between the curtain wall and each floor slab needs fire-stopping designed with the facade, not added afterwards.

Thermal and acoustic

Fire-rated units can still meet thermal targets when specified correctly; we confirm U-values with the system supplier.
