What's involved with fire-rated curtain walling in Salford
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.
- Slab-edge fire-stopping and cavity barriers to the design
- External-grade fire glass
- Tested fire-rated curtain wall systems
- Fire-rated zones within mixed facades
How we work in Salford
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Salford building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Salford identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
England rules applied
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
What to check before ordering fire-rated curtain walling in Salford
Slab edges
The gap between the curtain wall and each floor slab needs fire-stopping designed with the facade, not added afterwards.
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.
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.
