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.
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.
Fire-rated units can still meet thermal targets when specified correctly; we confirm U-values with the system supplier.
The gap between the curtain wall and each floor slab needs fire-stopping designed with the facade, not added afterwards.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in King's Lynn, including the PE30 districts, and in nearby Wisbech, March, Spalding. Norwich, around 62 km from King's Lynn, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
Every quote in King's Lynn identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so King's Lynn budgets are not open-ended.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
We can survey and quote for industrial units, hotels and other building types in King's Lynn.
Sometimes, if the existing system has a tested fire-rated version. Otherwise a local replacement may be needed.
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.
