Fire-Rated Curtain Walling in Cheadle Hulme: what's included

- Slab-edge fire-stopping and cavity barriers to the design
- Handover evidence for the building record
- Tested fire-rated curtain wall systems
- External-grade fire glass
What to check before ordering fire-rated curtain walling in Cheadle Hulme
Thermal and acoustic
Fire-rated units can still meet thermal targets when specified correctly; we confirm U-values with the system supplier.
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.
External-grade glass
External fire glass must be suitable for UV and weather exposure, usually in a sealed double-glazed unit with the fire pane positioned as tested.
