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.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Newcastle-under-Lyme, including the ST5, ST4, ST1 districts, and in nearby Stoke-on-Trent, Longton, Kidsgrove. Newcastle-under-Lyme lies roughly 3 km from Stoke-on-Trent, within our Staffordshire coverage.
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.
Work on higher-risk residential buildings in England goes through the Building Safety Regulator, which needs full product evidence at the design stage.
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.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
If an existing frame in a Newcastle-under-Lyme building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
We can survey and quote for offices, blocks of flats and other building types in Newcastle-under-Lyme.
We can supply and install on taller buildings where the project has the required approvals, and we provide evidence suitable for the Building Safety Regulator in England.
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.
Yes. We survey and install in Newcastle-under-Lyme and across Staffordshire, including the ST5 district and nearby Stoke-on-Trent.
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
