FIRE SAFETY & SECURITY
SEALING INTERFACES WITH ELONGATION AND FIRE SAFETY
Façades play a critical role in the durability and sustainability of buildings , where the design of façades is a critical aspect of building performance , that requires careful consideration of many factors such as sealing interfaces , considering building movement and fire safety . Given the increasing prevalence of façade fires in the UK , façade fire safety has become critical and mandatory . The consequences of inadequate sealing interfaces can be dire , leading to water leaks , lack of airtightness , energy inefficiency , poor indoor air quality , and even mould growth .

The future of façade design is exciting , and it ’ s up to us to shape it . The demand for new technologies that meet the demands of the 21st century is growing , and it ’ s time to move beyond traditional sealing solutions . We need groundbreaking alternatives that prioritize safety , sustainability , and efficiency .
We must also consider the human impact of our buildings . The tragic episode of Grenfell tower and the recent story of Awaab ’ s Law serves as warning & reminder of the importance of designing buildings with the life , health and well-being of their occupants in mind . We must ask ourselves , what kind of world do we want to live now and in the future ? One where people are forced to live in substandard housing conditions , or one where everyone has access to safe and healthy living spaces ? Let us strive for buildings that prioritize health , safety and well-being of their occupants and perform well . After all , our buildings are not just structures ; they are the places where we live , work , and play .
