Welcome to OWS Fire Rated | Fire Rated Systems

With the successful performance of these products playing such a crucial role in life and building safety it is imperative that the protection they offer is proven. The systems that we offer are subject to rigorous testing with the exact combination of materials to be used. Whilst there are good levels of options available, we can only offer products that are as tested. See our article on fire testing for more detailed information.

We understand that the specification and inclusion of fire rated glazing products is highly specialist and often requires a great deal of technical support to ensure that correct design, performance and interfacing are achieved, be it for a single fixed light or complex curtain wall screen. We offer a full design package or assistance to your own design team to ensure crucial details are correctly captured. We are always pleased to provide technical advice on regulations and specifications and help is only ever a phone call away.
