Curtain walling has been included in the NHBC standards since 2005. Curtain walling has always been a specialist trade and should only be installed by competent persons. The latest NHBC Standard reinforces this by making it mandatory for all installers to hold a training certificate confirming that they have been trained on the system being installed by their supplier. Importantly this requirement is also applicable to large window and/or door assemblies and not only curtain walling; i.e. it will apply to all installation one or more storeys in height.
Smarts have invited Dr Stephen Ledbetter from CWCT to offer a bespoke training course to allow our fabricators to demonstrate compliance to the latest NHBC requirements.
