Fire-Rated Curtain Walling in Thornaby-on-Tees: what's included

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
  • Tested fire-rated curtain wall systems
  • Spandrel and opaque panel coordination
  • External-grade fire glass

How we work in Thornaby-on-Tees

Evidence you can file

You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.

Honest about unknowns

If an existing frame in a Thornaby-on-Tees building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.

England rules applied

Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

What to check before ordering fire-rated curtain walling in Thornaby-on-Tees

Combustibility rules

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.

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.

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.
