What's involved with fire-rated curtain walling in Hythe
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
- Spandrel and opaque panel coordination
- Fire-rated zones within mixed facades
- Slab-edge fire-stopping and cavity barriers to the design

Key checks for Hythe projects
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.
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.

FAQs for Hythe
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 Hythe?
Yes. We survey and install in Hythe and across Hampshire, including the SO45 district and nearby Southampton.
How quickly can you survey in Hythe?
Survey timing in Hythe depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
