Fire-Rated Curtain Walling in Totton: 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.
- Spandrel and opaque panel coordination
- Slab-edge fire-stopping and cavity barriers to the design
- External-grade fire glass
- Handover evidence for the building record
Key checks for Totton projects
Slab edges
The gap between the curtain wall and each floor slab needs fire-stopping designed with the facade, not added afterwards.
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.
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.

Fire-Rated Curtain Walling: Totton 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.

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.

Building work in Totton follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
