RESIDENTIAL & COMMERCIAL GLAZING

LEAK RECTIFICATION
All todays glazing systems will suffer some form of water ingress at some point. Leaking glazing can be as a result of glazing failure caused by poor installations or lack of draining blockage and seal deterioration. If your glazing is leaking, this can be very damaging to the building’s fabric over a period of time without the occupier/owner becoming visually aware. There are of course cost implications in not only identifying the source of the leak but also the cost of redecoration works. RES will identify the leak at source and fully reseal to high standards effectively by highly qualified glazing seal personnel.
GLAZING REPLACEMENT
Specialising in glass replacements throughout the UK including standard and bespoke glass replacement, including IGU which are over-sized or have restricted access. If you are looking to replace spontaneous shattered, damaged, degraded glass or upgrade your glazing systems with modern, more energy efficient glazing systems then RES can assist. RES are fully averse with all roof glazing brand systems with cost effectiveness in mind.
RES work with major construction groups, developers to private home owners working throughout the UK.
FIRE RATED ROOFLIGHTS
Our Fire Rated Rooflights can be independently tested or assessed and certified to 30 or 60-minute integrity and insulation where necessary.
All of our Fire Rated Rooflights can be assessed and tested before installation for high-temperature resistance. Roof lights can be manufactured with various glazing options including Walk-on specifications.
How We Test Fire Rated Rooflights:
If you'd like to know more about our fire testing process for rooflights, below is the procedure we undertake for all fire-rated products -
-
Glass and framing are installed into a test furnace and a flame is lit to imitate a real live fire. The temperature of the glass is then measured, and the integrity ratings are based on the amount of time the glass remains intact within the frame.
-
Once testing is complete the glazing will be given a fire rating between 30 to 60-minute integrity, this gives you an idea as to how long the glass will prevent the spread of smoke and fire.
-
If you’re looking to specify fire-rated glazing such as fixed flat rooflights for a new building, we would recommend letting us know as soon as possible so we can factor this into the design.
Safety glass also doesn’t provide the level of protection fire-rated glazing does, so we would strongly advise against using this as an alternative.
Complying with Building Regulations:
UK Building Regulations Approved Document B (2006 edition amended 2007) sets out the rules for fire safety of buildings. In Section B2, internal fire spread is covered and applies to linings of both the roof and walls of buildings. In general, these are the surface spread of flame requirements to BS476 Part 7 (typically Class 1 and 3) or to BS EN 13501 Part 1 (typically Class C-s3,D2 or Class D-s3,d2). Section B4 covers external fire spread and applies to external coverings or roofs and walls. Generally, these are fire resistance requirements to BS476 Part 3 (typically AA and AB) or BS EN 13501 Part 5 (usually BROOF(t4)).
Fire-rated glass rooflight products are specially designed and their performance is guaranteed through our high-quality design methods. Fire-rated products can provide integrity only or integrity and insulation depending on the specification of the product.
Our fire-rated rooflights combine high-temperature resistance with maximum exposure to natural light, so if you'd like to know more about our products please get in touch today.
