- Handover evidence for the building record
- Fire-rated zones within mixed facades
- Slab-edge fire-stopping and cavity barriers to the design
What to check before ordering fire-rated curtain walling in Banbury
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.
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.
Thermal and acoustic
Fire-rated units can still meet thermal targets when specified correctly; we confirm U-values with the system supplier.
