Working closely with one of our long standing customers OWS designed, manufactured and installed a number of screens on this residential project to provide fire protection to escape routes. The ground floor fire rated curtain walling was designed to match other areas of non fire rated curtain walling and the installation was fully compliant with NHBC requirements in terms of engineering calculations and site testing.
PROJECT ANALYSIS
GROUND FLOOR FIRE RATED CURTAIN WALLING
An interesting scheme was carried out over a number of phases and completed in 2021. Non-standard fixing brackets and corner junctions were required to meet the architect's design ensuring that the screens matched with non fire rated curtain walling installed by others.
Installation was a particular challenge due to the tight space between the screen and hoarding, which meant that a specialist glass lifting plant was the only option.
