Made-to-measure precision Cut Strip Service introduced by Siderise

The innovative offering eradicates cutting on-site, reduces waste and improves safety, helping contractors to achieve faster, more accurate and more cost-effective installations. It’s a bold step forward in Siderise’s mission to ‘Go Beyond’ in contributing towards safer buildings.

 Cavity barriers and firestops are often supplied in slab form for cutting to size on-site. However, through this new service, contractors can choose to have any Siderise CW, EW, RH and RV products pre-cut on Siderise’s high-speed automated production line to meet their exacting project requirements. That results in precision-cut products that have been digitally sized and manufactured under strict quality control measures, ensuring consistent quality and mitigating the safety risks and inefficiencies of on-site cutting.

This isn’t just about convenience, though. Using this service can save considerable time, effort and labour (and, therefore, associated costs). To ensure contractors and project managers see these benefits on a given project’s bottom line, the Cut Strip Service has been carefully and competitively priced such that its cost is negated by the savings made from a more efficient installation process and reduced waste.

Improved quality control

Siderise has developed the Cut Strip Service in direct response to growing demands for improved quality control in construction products, while also addressing global challenges related to site efficiency, safety and the implementation of sustainable waste management practices on construction sites.

Gavin Rees, chief operating officer at Siderise, explained: “The Siderise Cut Strip Service exemplifies our ‘Customer First’ and ‘Strive for Betterment’ values. Pre-cut passive fire protection products offer major advantages on all kind of projects, whether it’s ensuring consistent quality across large projects, reducing site waste to meet Environmental, Social and Governance goals or speeding up installation. By automating this process, we’re making it a standard offering across all product ranges, with unmatched lead times, cost efficiencies and confidence in product precision.”

Additionally, using pre-cut strips may help installation teams better demonstrate alignment with project plans and drawings. This is an important consideration for projects in those regions, such as the UK, with strict building safety and compliance regimes in place.
