What our fire-rated curtain walling service includes in Wigston
Fire-rated curtain walling is a glazed facade system tested to resist fire, used where an external wall has to stop fire spreading to a neighbouring building, between floors, or past a protected stair or lobby. It combines facade performance, such as weather tightness and thermal values, with a fire classification.
- Fire-rated zones within mixed facades
- Spandrel and opaque panel coordination
- External-grade fire glass
- Slab-edge fire-stopping and cavity barriers to the design
How we work in Wigston
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Wigston building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Wigston identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Evidence you can file
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Key checks for Wigston projects
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.
External-grade glass
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.
