EXCLUSIVE ACCESS TO ALUMINIUM SCHEME FIRE SAFETY PRODUCTS
NE & C Windows & Doors has secured exclusive access to state-of-the-art products and training after joining Reynaers Aluminium Ltd ’ s Fire Safety Partners Scheme .
The Tyne and Wear based company joins a select group of members to qualify for the initiative which was launched in conjunction with Certifire and FIRAS .
The scheme requires fabricators and installers to achieve stringent fire safety standards , which then allows access to the Reynaers ’ range of market leading fire-resistant aluminium windows , doors , and curtain walling . This , in turn , offers assurance to customers and building occupants that fire safety requirements in product performance and installation have been met .
Members also benefit from access to Reynaers ’ unrivalled supply chain and training in specific fire safety products at the company ’ s head office in Belgium .
To apply , fabricators and installers must prove they are accredited by independent fire safety bodies Certifire or FIRAS , respectively , have been trading for at least a year , and demonstrate a history of supplying fire safety products .
John McComb , Technical Director at Reynaers , said : “ We are delighted to welcome NE & C Windows & Doors Ltd to the Fire Safe Partners Scheme which enables the company to offer a high level of fire safety assurance and choice to its customers .
“ Glazing is a crucial consideration for fire safety in modern buildings and one that is just as important as the aesthetics of the system installed . Through our scheme , we also ensure that our partners are equipped with the right training to successfully fabricate and install our products .
“ Partnering with Certifire and FIRAS means that our Fire Safety Partners Scheme is of the highest integrity .”
Ed Ramshaw , Managing Director at NE & C Windows & Doors Ltd , added :
“
We are looking forward to a long and prosperous partnership
”
“ Achieving this certification was a great accolade and a major part of our vision for the future . Reynaers ’ comprehensive range of fire safe products will be an excellent addition to our already abundant offering while the diversification will enable us to reach new markets with a quality of product that logically sits alongside our other high specification products and suppliers .
“ We have been manufacturing aluminium bi folds , windows , curtain walling , and commercial systems for the past 10 years , so the next stage for us was to bring on board a cutting-edge collection of fire-resistant products including smoke vents . I found that Reynaers ’ ethos very much reflected our outlook in business , so the scheme seemed a great fit for both parties . We are looking forward to a long and prosperous partnership .”
As the certification for fabricators , Certifire assures performance , quality , reliability , and traceability of products and systems , while FIRAS endorses the competency of installers to fit and maintain systems to the required safety standards .
