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.
If an existing frame in a Felling building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
We can phase work in Felling around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Felling budgets are not open-ended.
The gap between the curtain wall and each floor slab needs fire-stopping designed with the facade, not added afterwards.
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.
Work on higher-risk residential buildings in England goes through the Building Safety Regulator, which needs full product evidence at the design stage.
Coverage around Felling includes the NE10, NE8, NE9, NE6, NE1, NE2 districts and nearby Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne, Hebburn. Newcastle upon Tyne, around 4 km from Felling, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
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.
Fire-rated curtain walling applies to many building types in Felling, including public buildings and blocks of flats.
Sometimes, if the existing system has a tested fire-rated version. Otherwise a local replacement may be needed.
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 Felling and across Tyne and Wear, including the NE10 district and nearby Gateshead.
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.
