🔥 Did you know that all those 'fire-rated' glass balustrades you're specifying aren't actually fire-rated?

Before you panic - here's what it actually means.

All glass balustrade systems marketed as 'fire-rated' are, in fact, non-combustible, not fire-rated. There's a big difference, and it does matter.

🔍 What's the difference?

A true fire-rated system (or fire-resistant, if we're getting really technical about it) must be fully tested as a complete glazed assembly, and that includes the appropriately tested glass, framework, intumescent seals, fixings, beadings and screws.

The complete system is then tested under very strict conditions to meet one of the official fire resistance classifications - most commonly EW or EI, for 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes.

🚫 So, how is this different from non-combustible systems?

It means the materials used (like the glass and any framing and components) won't contribute to the spread of fire. These components are usually tested to the A2, s1-d0 classification under EN 13501-1:

A2 = limited combustibility
s1 = little or no smoke production
d0 = no flaming droplets

💡 That's the key difference:

A non-combustible system won't ignite or add fuel to a fire, helping to prevent it from spreading🔥🚫
A fire-rated system is designed to actively contain fire, smoke and heat, for a specified amount of time🔥🛑🕒

Fire-rated glass is a truly exceptional product, and plays a critical role in protecting lives during a fire. It's one of the most important innovations in modern fire protection, and it deserves the recognition 💪

When a customer lets us know their delivery arrived damaged, we get it sorted - no drama 🙌

A replacement, a solution, whatever’s needed. But we’ll usually ask for a few photos too - not to prove anything, just so we can see what happened and try to stop it happening again.

But then the photos arrive… and it’s absolute carnage. The box looks like it went five rounds with a forklift, lost a fight with a conveyor belt, and finished its journey clinging to life in the back of a van held together by sheer will and one sad strip of tape. 📦💀

When we see those pics, our brains short-circuit and our imagination goes rogue as we try to work out what on earth happened.

Firstly, a shout out to the courier crews - we know 95% of the time it all goes smoothly. But for the other 5%... this one's for you 😂👇

OK, I like it… Pikasso.
(And that’s with a K. Because branding 🤌)

We’re excited to introduce the Pikasso Aluminium Post System - a smart, pre-assembled solution for glass balustrading.

Take a look at this recent project where Pikasso was put to work - and it delivered on all fronts:
✅️ Fast install thanks to pre-assembled components
✅️ Clean, modern design to complement architectural glazing
✅️ Lightweight and durable aluminium for long-term performance

Whether you're specifying, installing, or just quietly judging balustrades in the wild, Pikasso is built to make life easier - and look good doing it.

Have a scroll through. Then say it with us… “Yeah, that’s a bit of alright, that.”

Thank you Richard Wagstaff and RJW Landscapes Ltd.

Easter Update 🐣🌸

In news that will shock no one... we’ll be closed for Easter.

We’re following the time-honoured tradition of taking a little break, recharging, and politely pretending we haven’t eaten half our body weight in chocolate.

Wishing you a restful, joyful Easter - from all of us to all of you 💛

Honesty. A wild, groundbreaking business concept.

If we can do it, we'll do it. Simple. No fuss. No problem.

Katie Shaw, for example - our undisputed Queen of Making the Impossible, Possible™, arranged an order to arrive on site in London the morning after receiving it at 4:45pm the day before. Did she cry? No. Did she panic? Also no. But she made it happen. We don't know how, and frankly, we're too afraid to ask sometimes (admittedly Chloe Baines may have cried and panicked a little).

But if something is physically, logistically, scientifically impossible - if there is literally no way - then we'll tell you. What we won't ever do is lie to win your business, even if it's not the news you're looking for. No fake promises. No imaginary lead times.

We're upfront about what's possible, even at quoting stage, not just order stage. Because managing expectations > managing disasters.

So if you want honesty, realism, and the occasional miracle from Katie Shaw, you know where do find us 😏

📸 When Marketing Content Turns Into a Comedy Show 😂

You know that moment when you’re trying to capture the perfect shot… and everything goes hilariously wrong? Well, this photo is proof that marketing content creation isn’t always as smooth as it seems!

We were aiming for a polished, professional shot - what we got instead? A masterpiece of chaos, and this moment was too funny not to share

Sometimes, the best content isn’t planned - it just happens. 📷😂
