Fire Protection Requirements for Curtain Walls
1. Material Selection
Non-combustible or flame-retardant materials should be selected for the curtain wall to reduce the risk of fire.
Fire-resistant isolation layers and sealing materials should meet the requirements of fire protection codes.
2. Fire Isolation
A fire-resistant isolation layer should be installed between the curtain wall and the main structure to prevent the spread of fire.
The material and thickness of the fire-resistant isolation layer should comply with relevant codes.
3. Fire Compartmentation
The building curtain wall should be integrated with the building's fire compartments to rationally divide fire-resistant units.
Fire-resistant roller shutters or fire-resistant glass walls, or other fire-resistant partitions, should be installed at openings in the curtain wall.
4. Construction Requirements
Fire-resistant construction should be carried out strictly in accordance with design drawings and specifications.
The construction of fire-resistant sealing materials and isolation layers should ensure a tight seal, without gaps or holes.
