Fire-Rated Curtain Walling in Abingdon: 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.

  • Tested fire-rated curtain wall systems
  • Fire-rated zones within mixed facades
  • Handover evidence for the building record
  • Spandrel and opaque panel coordination

What to check before ordering fire-rated curtain walling in Abingdon

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.

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.
