What our fire-rated curtain walling service includes in Grays
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.
- Handover evidence for the building record
- Spandrel and opaque panel coordination
- Slab-edge fire-stopping and cavity barriers to the design
- External-grade fire glass
What to check before ordering fire-rated curtain walling in Grays
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.
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.
Thermal and acoustic
Fire-rated units can still meet thermal targets when specified correctly; we confirm U-values with the system supplier.

Fire glazing rules in England
England Which rules apply?
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.
Sectors we cover in Grays
Fire-rated curtain walling applies to many building types in Grays, including blocks of flats and public buildings.
Fire-Rated Curtain Walling: Grays questions
When does curtain walling need to be fire-rated?
Typically where the facade is near a boundary, where it encloses a protected stair or lobby, or where fire spread between floors has to be controlled. The fire strategy sets the requirement.
Do you work on high-rise buildings?
We can supply and install on taller buildings where the project has the required approvals, and we provide evidence suitable for the Building Safety Regulator in England.
Do you carry out fire-rated curtain walling in Grays?
Yes. We survey and install in Grays and across Essex, including the RM17 district and nearby South Ockendon.
Can you price fire-rated curtain walling in Grays 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.
