Fire-Rated Curtain Walling in Motherwell: 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.
- External-grade fire glass
- Spandrel and opaque panel coordination
- Tested fire-rated curtain wall systems
- Slab-edge fire-stopping and cavity barriers to the design
How we work in Motherwell
Fixed written quotes
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Motherwell budgets are not open-ended.
Scotland rules applied
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in Scotland, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Motherwell identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
What to check before ordering fire-rated curtain walling in Motherwell
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.
Thermal and acoustic
Fire-rated units can still meet thermal targets when specified correctly; we confirm U-values with the system supplier.

Which rules apply to fire-rated curtain walling in Motherwell?
Scotland Which rules apply?
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.
Scottish guidance has its own approach to escape routes and compartmentation, so glazing designs are checked against the Technical Handbooks and the warrant drawings.
Motherwell building types
Fire-rated curtain walling applies to many building types in Motherwell, including public buildings and schools and colleges.

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.
