🇬🇧 🔥 Building Regulations meet Solar Shading WAREMA External Venetian Blinds achieve A2-classification When planning residential high-rise buildings, external solar shading is no longer just about comfort, daylight control and energy efficiency. Regulatory requirements are becoming an increasingly important factor in façade design. For high-rise residential buildings (above 18 metres in height) in the UK, external sun shading systems installed above 4.5 metres must comply with the fire classification A2-s1,d0 according to EN 13501-1. This makes the selection of solar shading solutions a crucial part of compliant façade planning – whereas there haven´t been any suitable blind solution available in the market in the past. After going through various testing procedures in the past months, WAREMA now offers external venetian blinds with A2-classified slats (80 S, 80 AF and 80 WF), providing architects and planners with a documented basis for specification, approval processes and tendering. The combination of façade aesthetics, daylight management and regulatory compliance creates greater planning certainty throughout the project lifecycle. ✔ Reliable compliance with current building regulations ✔ Documented fire classification according to EN 13501-1 ✔ Flexible integration into various façade concepts ✔ Optimised daylight and solar gain control Discover how compliant WAREMA external solar shading can support your next high-rise project. #WAREMA #Architecture #FacadeDesign #FireSafety #HigherRiskBuildings #BuildingRegulations #SolarShading
