Approved installers of fire cavity barriers

We are delighted to announce that we have been officially accredited by IFC Certification Ltd. (an independent UKAS-accredited provider of high-quality customer-focused third-party certification in support of fire safety and security) to install cavity fire barriers following an auditing process.

At Eden Facades, we strive to provide the best possible service. All our work is carried out in compliance with regulations, and we pride ourselves on our quality of work. Evidencing our quality of work through third-party accreditation further solidifies our credibility and ability to correctly install each product in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications and industry regulations.

The critical role of fire cavity barriers in building fire safety

With increased public awareness, industry mindfulness, and regulatory recommendations, manufacturers and installers must now demonstrate the capability and traceability of their products and services more critically than ever.

Fire cavity barriers play a pivotal role in preventing the spread of fire and smoke through cavities in walls, floors, and ceilings in the case of a fire outbreak. Without these barriers, fires can travel unchecked through these cavities. Fire barriers help maintain a building’s structural integrity during a fire. By compartmentalising the fire, they prevent it from weakening large sections of the building at once, giving occupants more time to evacuate and firefighters more time to control the blaze.

Proper installation and adherence to regulations are vital to ensure these barriers function effectively in a fire.

The auditing process

To acquire the certification, an internal audit and site visits were carried out to ensure that the required standards are met. These involved quality control of paperwork and inspection of fire cavity barrier installations.

To ensure that ongoing standards are upheld, each project must be registered with the IFC and be subject to random inspections. This gives the client peace of mind that quality is being maintained and the confidence to rely on us to deliver the installation correctly.

A reliable partner for installations

Many contractors now insist on third-party accreditation to install fire cavity barriers. As accredited installers, our processes and procedures have been rigorously tested to ensure we carry out installations safely. The IFC certification offers reliable, impartial, objective and internationally recognised evidence that we deliver excellent quality of work.
