Perimeter Fire Containment
Curtain-wall edge-of-slab fire containment using assembly-specific safing, smoke seal and spandrel coordination.
Technical scope
Control the slab-edge and façade path between floors.
Perimeter fire containment addresses the void between a rated floor slab and the exterior curtain wall or façade. A failure here can permit vertical fire and smoke spread between storeys.
Façade geometry, mullions, spandrel construction, safing insulation, smoke seals and movement vary. The installed route must correspond to the actual tested or assessed assembly.
Required inputs
- Façade shop drawings
- Slab-edge dimensions
- Curtain-wall construction
- Required rating
- Movement requirement
- Access and closure sequence
Delivery route
- Review façade and slab-edge geometry
- Confirm tested system and movement
- Coordinate access and installation sequence
- Install safing and smoke seal
- Inspect continuity and close records
Evidence expected
- Assembly-specific evidence
- Material and density records
- Interface photographs
- Inspection and repair status
