What our fire-rated curtain walling service includes in Bury St Edmunds

It combines facade performance, such as weather tightness and thermal values, with a fire classification.

Before you order fire-rated curtain walling: what matters
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.
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.
Slab edges
The gap between the curtain wall and each floor slab needs fire-stopping designed with the facade, not added afterwards.
Which rules apply to fire-rated curtain walling in Bury St Edmunds?
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.

Sometimes, if the existing system has a tested fire-rated version. Otherwise a local replacement may be needed.
