Blinds sealed units Image: Tomer Kohn
with ScreenLine integral
blinds inside now comply with the performance criteria set out
in the EU 305/2011 Construction Products Regulation, and have
been independently verified by TUV UK, a UKAS accredited third
party testing house.
Ian Short, managing director of Morley Glass & Glazing said:
“There are more than 300 fire-related deaths and more than
200,000 fire alarms raised in the UK every year. With recent highprofile
incidents such as Grenfell Tower, it’s more important than
ever that the correct building materials are specified. Our sealed
units with integral blinds inside are manufactured in the UK using
fire safety glass from Pyroguard and can deliver 30 to 120 minutes
integrity and insulation fire-resistance.”
