Over 20 years of experience in passive fire protection for curtain walls
Compliance with existing planning and standard requirements
Support from planning and installation to laboratory approval and Form 4
Why is it important to take care of sealing the seam strip already at the planning stage?
At the junction between the curtain wall and the concrete ceiling, a continuous engineering solution is required to reduce the passage of fire, flames, and smoke between floors. When a request is received from a fire safety consultant, an aluminum consultant, or a certified laboratory to regulate the fire barrier, it is important to incorporate the solution already in the design and not wait until the execution phase.
Early planning allows for examining the existing detail, adapting an appropriate solution, and incorporating it into the plans and execution interfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
In the seam between the edge of the concrete ceiling and the curtain wall system along the perimeter of the floor.
This is the junction area between the curtain wall and the concrete ceiling, where a continuous fire barrier is required to reduce the passage of fire, flames, and smoke between floors.
Early planning allows you to adapt the solution to the existing detail, prevent delays in the field, and reduce changes and repair costs later.
Fire, smoke, and gases can pass through the seam and spread between floors.
The design addresses the requirements of the fire safety consultant, the aluminum consultant, the accredited laboratory, and TA 2174, depending on the project.
The solution was examined as a complete system that includes the filling materials, the sealing, the facade structure, and the connection details.
