Fire-Rated Curtain Walling in Archway: 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.
- Handover evidence for the building record
- Tested fire-rated curtain wall systems
- Spandrel and opaque panel coordination
- Fire-rated zones within mixed facades
Key checks for Archway projects
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.
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.
England regulations that shape the job
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.

FAQs for Archway
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.
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.
Which rules apply to fire-rated glazing in Archway?
Building work in Archway follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
