The Rooflight Association has published a series of ‘Quickguides’, covering the fire rating requirements for use of rooflights in buildings for each of the four devolved UK nations.
The new Quickguides provide clear information on the current fire rating classification requirements for internal walls and ceilings, and roof coverings, which apply to rooflights. They also include guidance on the allowances and restrictions relating to the use of thermoplastic rooflights.
Rooflight Association Director and Technical Committee representative Stuart Middle, said: “These new documents form part of our on-line technical library of Quickguides and Technical Documents, allowing specifiers free access to key information”.
As the trade association representing the rooflight industry, The Rooflight Association is the UK’s pre-eminent independent provider of rooflighting technical information.
Information in the guides is split into key sections:
- Means of Warning and Escape
- Internal Fire Spread (linings)
- Internal Fire Spread (structure)
- External Fire Spread
- Access and Facilities for the Fire Service
The four new Quickguides 10EN, 10SC, 10NI and 10WA, can all be downloaded free of charge, from: https://rooflightassociation.org/fire-performance/
