What our fire-rated curtain walling service includes in Smethwick

- Slab-edge fire-stopping and cavity barriers to the design
- External-grade fire glass
- Handover evidence for the building record
- Spandrel and opaque panel coordination
Before you order fire-rated curtain walling: what matters
Slab edges
The gap between the curtain wall and each floor slab needs fire-stopping designed with the facade, not added afterwards.
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.

Which rules apply to fire-rated curtain walling in Smethwick?
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.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.

FAQs for Smethwick
Can you add fire-rated zones to existing curtain walling?
Sometimes, if the existing system has a tested fire-rated version. Otherwise a local replacement may be needed.
When does curtain walling need to be fire-rated?
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 Smethwick and across West Midlands, including the B66 district and nearby West Bromwich.
Can you price fire-rated curtain walling in Smethwick from photos?
