Fire-Rated Curtain Walling in Brighouse: what's included
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.
- Tested fire-rated curtain wall systems
- Spandrel and opaque panel coordination
- External-grade fire glass
- Handover evidence for the building record
Key checks for Brighouse projects
Slab edges
The gap between the curtain wall and each floor slab needs fire-stopping designed with the facade, not added afterwards.
Boundaries
External walls close to a boundary may need to be fire-resisting with limited unprotected areas. Fixed glazing that meets the wall's full fire-resistance requirement, including insulation where required, is not counted as unprotected area, so it can let you keep glass in those positions.
Thermal and acoustic
Fire-rated units can still meet thermal targets when specified correctly; we confirm U-values with the system supplier.

Fire glazing rules in England
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.
Building types we cover in Brighouse
Fire-rated curtain walling applies to many building types in Brighouse, including care homes and schools and colleges.
FAQs for Brighouse
Do you work on high-rise buildings?
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.
Can fire glass be used in double-glazed units?
Yes. External fire-rated glazing is usually supplied as a sealed unit with the fire pane in a tested position.
How quickly can you survey in Brighouse?
Survey timing in Brighouse depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Brighouse?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
