How the Golden Thread is Improving Building Fire Safety

Fire Safety Stage

On Wednesday 20th November at 11:00 am on the Fire Safety Stage, our panel of experts discussed the critical importance of the Golden Thread in ensuring the safety and compliance of fire doors in residential and social housing.

It was a pleasure to connect with attendees afterwards, and our panel members enjoyed engaging in insightful discussions around the topic of fire safety.

Thank you to Howard Trotter from Shelforce and Birmingham City Council, Alfie Hosker from Secured by Design and Mark Garfield from BM TRADA (Fire) for joining Winkhaus for the seminar and bringing this important topic to life.

Innovative Fire and Security Solutions on Display

At this year’s exhibition, we showcased our latest internal and external fire doorset solutions for Timber and Composite alongside the advanced aluPilot fitting system, the versatile Family of Locks, and the award winning AV4 multi-point autoLock.

These future-proof solutions are designed to meet the evolving needs of architects, specifiers, and housing professionals, especially in the social housing sector. Conversations are focussed on how our added value products, services and solutions can aid in visitors current and future compliance journeys.

Navigating Changing Fire Safety Standards

Fire safety has been a key focus for the construction industry, with recent events and subsequent legislative changes significantly impacting fire doorset specifications. Winkhaus has been at the forefront of fire safety, and London Build attendees visited our stand for expert advice on compliant fire doorset specifications and the latest changes to fire safety legislation.

With the largest evidence bank of compliant fire doorset solutions, Winkhaus’ solutions are independently audited by BM Trada under the Q Mark and UKCA Mark schemes, ensuring ongoing compliance and extensive testing.

Leading the Way with Future-Proof Aluminium Window Solutions

Architects and specifiers face the challenge of designing future-proof buildings that balance thermal efficiency, security, and ease of use. At London Build, we shared how our aluminium solutions aid in balancing this design equation for architects and specifiers.

Solutions include our aluPilot window fitting system, which has been engineered to handle sashes weights up to 300kg, and designed to meet PAS24 and RC3 security standards – all whilst offering flexible ventilation and safety features for future homes.

The Next Generation Family of Locks

Winkhaus' Family of Locks is a versatile range of high-security locks designed for easy on-site interchangeability across various door materials, all fitting the AV4 routing. This adaptability allows fabricators and installers to switch locks like Cobra, Thunderbolt, TruLock, and autoLock AV2 without needing to replace the doorset, saving both time and costs for maintenance teams. Designed to meet PAS24, Approved Document Q, and Police Secured by Design standards, our locking solutions offer reliable security while addressing current and future tenant needs for diverse applications in residential, commercial, and social housing projects.
