In today’s regulatory climate, fire safety isn’t a feature — it’s a legal and ethical obligation. Every balcony system installed in the UK must satisfy stringent Building Safety Regulator (BSR) requirements, particularly for Higher-Risk Buildings (HRBs) assessed under Gateway 2.
At Wiltech Engineering, we don’t simply follow regulations — we design balcony systems around them. Our process integrates fire compliance from the outset, supported by certified fabrication, tested components, and traceable finishes in full alignment with BS EN 13501-1, BS EN 1090-2, and Approved Document B.
Fire performance defines accountability. Every material and coating used in our systems must prove compliance through third-party certification. That’s why Wiltech sources only from approved suppliers and specifies components that meet BS EN and Euroclass performance benchmarks.
We engineer systems to be safe, compliant, and structurally sound — ensuring long-term safety without compromising build quality or visual cohesion.
The Euroclass system rates how construction materials respond to fire, from A1 (non-combustible) to F (highly combustible).
For external balconies, materials must achieve A1 or A2-s1, d0 — meaning no contribution to fire spread, minimal smoke, and zero flaming droplets.
At Wiltech Engineering, our balcony systems integrate fire-rated aluminium decking, non-combustible soffits, and powder-coated steel structures fabricated to BS EN 1090-2 standards — ensuring every detail complies with the highest rating requirements.
Fire safety and surface protection go hand-in-hand. Wiltech partners with Qualicoat-approved powder coating suppliers, ensuring every finish is tested, certified, and traceable.
These coatings provide not only fire resistance but also exceptional corrosion durability, aligning with BSR expectations and supporting long-term structural performance across residential, mixed-use, and high-rise developments.
Compliance starts in pre-construction. Our teams collaborate with architects, engineers, and principal contractors from the earliest design phases to ensure balcony systems meet fire safety requirements before they’re built.
Each 3D model and fabrication drawing integrates compliant fixings, non-combustible elements, and certified coatings — ensuring early alignment with Building Safety Regulator (BSR) review processes and full visibility through all stages of project delivery.
The fire safety landscape is evolving fast. Wiltech Engineering is proud to lead that evolution. By combining UKCA-accredited fabrication, Euroclass-compliant materials, and proven technical integration, we help clients not only meet but often exceed regulatory expectations.
Our balcony systems are engineered for performance — built with compliance in mind and delivered with craftsmanship, coordination, and total quality assurance.
At Wiltech Engineering, every balcony system is a product of precision, regulation, and responsibility. From certified fire-rated components to UKCA-accredited fabrication, our work is defined by technical excellence and long-term performance. We don’t just meet standards — we help set them.
Trusted by developers, architects, and contractors across the UK, Wiltech delivers balcony systems that are compliant, durable, and ready to perform — on time, to spec, and without compromise.
