Fire Rated Glazing
Fire protection should be considered in any building, that’s why we offer a robust range of fire rated glass solutions to suit a variety of complex and stringent environments.
As specialists, we have the expertise and knowledge to support you in selecting the best glazing solution for you, considering Building Control Office (BCO) requirements and your building regulations.
We’ve installed 100’s of fully tested and approved glazing systems across the UK, including doors, partitions of various framing materials and designs that comply or exceed the UK and European standards across refurbished and new build residential, commercial and industrial properties.
Protection against a spreading fire can be split into two:
Fire Integrity
The fire rated glazing solution works as a barrier to reduce the progress of the fire. It also reduces the amount of smoke, or any other toxic gases, spreading.
Fire Insulation
Fire rated insulated partitions can withstand extremely high temperatures meaning it restricts heat, and fire passing through.
Certain areas of your building will require more protection than others, such as frequently used corridors or escape routes. When installed, these systems provide maximum protection in the unfortunate event of a fire.
Each building will require a different classification, with protection levels measured in defined time periods 30, 60, 90, 120 and 180.
Different classifications are listed in terms of integrity and insulation. If the participation installed is 60/60 then this means it provides 60 minutes of integrity and 60 of insulation.
We collaborate with a range of fire rated companies who can accommodate your needs by offering assured levels of fire protection at the rating you require. As we have a system that suits every specification, contact us regarding your project and let us find you the best suited, with fully framed and frameless integrated doors.
We’ve worked on a number of high-end and complex residential structural glazing projects, ensuring requirements and regulations are adhered to with seamless results.
