- Slab-edge fire-stopping and cavity barriers to the design

Key checks for Winsford projects
Boundaries
External walls close to a boundary may need to be fire-resisting with limited unprotected areas. Fixed glazing that meets the wall's full fire-resistance requirement, including insulation where required, is not counted as unprotected area, so it can let you keep glass in those positions.
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.
Higher-risk buildings
Work on higher-risk residential buildings in England goes through the Building Safety Regulator, which needs full product evidence at the design stage.
