Siderise has launched a suite of new digital Specification Packs designed to support architects, design teams, fire engineers, consultants and specifiers in collating the technical data they need to ensure accurate passive fire protection specifications.  

With versions available for curtain wall, rainscreen, masonry, and precast and sealed architectural wall systems, each pack summarises all the relevant product information for the designated application.

They provide quick and convenient access to tools and information sources, including technical datasheets, third-party certification, standard detail drawings, BIM objects, specification information and clauses.

Additionally, by including links to the latest information, users can be assured that they are working with the most up-to-date data and certifications, reducing the risks associated with holding outdated material. 

Enhanced support services

In addition to formats of data needed throughout the early selection process, the Packs also highlight the enhanced support services available from Siderise at different project stages.

This includes support with NBS Chorus specifications as a licenced NBS Specification Writing Partner, as well as information on Siderise’s bespoke testing capacity via its UKAS ISO 17025 accredited Innovation Centre. It also contains links to book CPD seminars, product training and more. 

With the introduction of the Building Safety Act and increasing focus on data-backed specifications, these Specification Packs can help Siderise customers specify products more efficiently and with greater confidence in their decision-making.

Senior Technical Engineer for Specification, Siderise, Emmie Panagopoulos’ statement

Senior Technical Engineer for Specification, Emmie Panagopoulos, who leads the creation of these tools, explains: “Passive fire protection is a crucial element of any fire safety strategy that must be considered from the earliest design stages.

“By creating these application-specific Specification Packs, we wanted to empower the people looking to use our products to be able to make the best choices for their projects, arming them with all the details, tools and supporting services they need.

“This will help them to provide adequate levels of detail and justifications to not only satisfy requirements such as Gateway 2 applications and the creation of a Golden Thread, but also confidently explain to their clients and project partners how fire safety has been embedded into their plans and strategies from the outset.”
