Before you order fire-rated curtain walling: what matters

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.

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.

Slab edges

The gap between the curtain wall and each floor slab needs fire-stopping designed with the facade, not added afterwards.

Havant coverage and nearby towns

Coverage around Havant includes the PO9, PO10 districts and nearby Waterlooville, Portsmouth, Gosport. Havant lies roughly 30 km from Southampton, within our Hampshire coverage.

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.

Fire-Rated Curtain Walling: Havant questions

Can fire glass be used in double-glazed units?

Yes. External fire-rated glazing is usually supplied as a sealed unit with the fire pane in a tested position.

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 carry out fire-rated curtain walling in Havant?

Yes. We survey and install in Havant and across Hampshire, including the PO9 district and nearby Waterlooville.

Do you work on occupied buildings in Havant?

Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
