Fire-Rated Curtain Walling in Bolton: 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.
- External-grade fire glass
- Slab-edge fire-stopping and cavity barriers to the design
- Tested fire-rated curtain wall systems
- Spandrel and opaque panel coordination
Key checks for Bolton projects
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.
Thermal and acoustic
Fire-rated units can still meet thermal targets when specified correctly; we confirm U-values with the system supplier.

Sometimes, if the existing system has a tested fire-rated version. Otherwise a local replacement may be needed.
