Specifying the most appropriate firestop and cavity fire barrier solutions for façade systems can be challenging. With multiple different manufacturers, product types, and standards, the onus is often on the architect to ensure that the safety measures selected are suitable for their application.

To help, Siderise has launched a suite of Specification Packs to help architects save time searching for accurate specification information by providing quick and convenient access to all the relevant information for the Siderise products associated with a specific façade application — be it curtain wall, rainscreen, masonry, or precast and sealed architectural wall systems. This includes:

• Technical datasheets
• Third-party certification
• Standard detail drawings
• BIM objects
• Specification information and clauses
• Installation instructions
• Environmental Performance Declarations

This helps to streamline specifications early in the design phase, ensuring decisions are backed by robust data and justified with the appropriate level of detail. Not only can this help satisfy regulatory requirements but also gives you the evidence necessary to confidently explain to clients and project partners how fire safety has been embedded into your plans and strategies from the outset.  

Additionally, by including live links to the latest information, you can be assured that you are working with the most up-to-date data and certifications, reducing the risks associated with holding outdated material. 

The easy-to-navigate Specification Packs also highlight the enhanced support services available from Siderise at different project stages. As experts in their products, Siderise's expert Technical Team can assist with project-specific specification guidance ranging from product selection advice to helping to prepare and review drawings. The packs also contain links to book CPD seminars and product training, access learning resources and more — enabling both you and your project partners to enhance your practical knowledge of passive fire protection in the building envelope.
