What our fire-rated curtain walling service includes in St Austell
Fire-rated curtain walling is a glazed facade system tested to resist fire, used where an external wall has to stop fire spreading to a neighbouring building, between floors, or past a protected stair or lobby. It combines facade performance, such as weather tightness and thermal values, with a fire classification.
- Fire-rated zones within mixed facades
- Handover evidence for the building record
- Spandrel and opaque panel coordination
- Tested fire-rated curtain wall systems
What you can expect in St Austell
England rules applied
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a St Austell building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in St Austell identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
What to check before ordering fire-rated curtain walling in St Austell
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.
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.

Fire-Rated Curtain Walling: St Austell questions
Can you add fire-rated zones to existing curtain walling?
Sometimes, if the existing system has a tested fire-rated version. Otherwise a local replacement may be needed.
Can fire glass be used in double-glazed units?
Yes. External fire-rated glazing is usually supplied as a sealed unit with the fire pane in a tested position.
Can you price fire-rated curtain walling in St Austell from photos?
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
How quickly can you survey in St Austell?
Survey timing in St Austell depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
