Building Envelope

Today’s architectural design aesthetics require a cladding offering of more than just traditional looking brickwork. Whether your requirements are for high-performing rendered systems, through to comprehensive rainscreen systems, the building envelope can provide a line of defence against fire spread within and beyond a structure. It can contain fires within compartments, limiting their spread to other parts o the building and adjacent structures. Thanks to our key supply partnerships we are able to assist in the specification and procurement of tested complete systems for every type of building, including commercial, high-rise, high-risk etc.

Non-Combustible Boards

Non-Combustible boards are designed to resist ignition and combustion, providing a barrier against flames and heat transfer.

Non-Vented Cavity Barriers

Unlike vented barriers, which allow airflow, non-vented barriers completely seal off these cavities to hinder the passage of flames and heat. By maintaining compartmentalisation, non-vented cavity barriers enhance the fire resistance of the building envelope, reducing the risk of fire spread and protecting both occupants and property.

Open State Cavity Barriers

Designed to maintain the integrity of concealed cavities within walls and floors. These barriers feature a mechanism that activates in the event of a fire, expanding to seal off the cavity and prevent the spread of flames, smoke, and heat.
