Fire-Rated Curtain Walling in Runcorn: what's included
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.
- Fire-rated zones within mixed facades
- Spandrel and opaque panel coordination
- Slab-edge fire-stopping and cavity barriers to the design
- Tested fire-rated curtain wall systems
Key checks for Runcorn projects
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.
Combustibility rules
In England, materials in the external walls of relevant buildings 18 metres or more in height are restricted. We coordinate with the facade designer on every component.
Slab edges
The gap between the curtain wall and each floor slab needs fire-stopping designed with the facade, not added afterwards.
