Curtain wall system

How Curtain Wall Systems Impact Building Fire Ratings in High-Rises

Curtain wall systems are an important part of high-rise building safety. When made with fire-resistant materials, like special glass and insulation, they help prevent fire from spreading, giving people more time to evacuate. These systems are carefully tested to ensure they can handle heat and smoke. With the right design, curtain walls can also improve energy efficiency and add to the building’s overall look. Understanding how they work is key to making sure a building stays safe and compliant with fire safety regulations.

Duct Insulation for Condensation Control: Stop “Sweating” Ducts & Mould

When AC ducts start to “sweat,” it’s usually because warm, humid air is coming into contact with the cold surface of the duct. Adding the right duct insulation and sealing the vapour barrier properly will stop this moisture from forming and help keep mould, ceiling stains, and wasted energy at bay. If your ducts are old, broken, or have thin insulation, switching to better materials that are more resistant to moisture can make a big difference. If you see wet insulation, musty smells, or damp spots in your roof space, you should have your ducting checked so you can fix the problem before it gets worse.

Fire-Rated-Plasterboard

7 Professional Tips for Picking the Right Fire-Rated Plasterboard

Fire-rated plasterboard is made to slow down the spread of fire and safeguard the building’s structure. This gives people more time to get out and helps keep damage to a minimal. The proper decision depends on where the board will go (walls, ceilings, or partitions) and how fire-resistant it needs to be. Some places might even need systems that can withstand fire for up to two hours. The board must also be installed exactly as the tested system says it should be, because even tiny modifications can impact how well it works. This tutorial goes over the basics and answers frequently asked questions to make it easier for you to choose.
