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.
Fire-rated units can still meet thermal targets when specified correctly; we confirm U-values with the system supplier.
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.
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.
In Scotland, building work needs a building warrant under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with fire guidance in Section 2 of the Building Standards Technical Handbooks rather than Approved Documents.
For relevant premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 place duties on the duty holder to maintain fire safety measures, which include fire-resisting glazing.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Hamilton, including the ML3 districts, and in nearby Motherwell, Wishaw, East Kilbride. Hamilton lies roughly 9 km from East Kilbride, within our Lanarkshire coverage.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
We can phase work in Hamilton around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in Scotland, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Sector guides below cover blocks of flats, industrial units and other buildings in Hamilton.
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.
We can supply and install on taller buildings where the project has the required approvals, and we provide evidence suitable for the Building Safety Regulator in England.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
