Fire-Rated Curtain Walling: an overview for Oxfordshire
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.
- Tested fire-rated curtain wall systems
- Handover evidence for the building record
- External-grade fire glass
Before you order in Oxfordshire
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.
Higher-risk buildings
Work on higher-risk residential buildings in England goes through the Building Safety Regulator, which needs full product evidence at the design stage.
Which rules apply in England?
England Which rules apply?
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.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.

FAQs for Oxfordshire
Can you add fire-rated zones to existing curtain walling?
Sometimes, if the existing system has a tested fire-rated version. Otherwise a local replacement may be needed.
Can fire glass be used in double-glazed units?
Yes. External fire-rated glazing is usually supplied as a sealed unit with the fire pane in a tested position.
When does curtain walling need to be fire-rated?
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.
