DFC and the University of Edinburgh’s fire research system
CladFire platform – A new digital system for fire-safety data. We are incredibly proud to announce the launch of the CladFire platform, a brand-new, bespoke digital system we have produced in collaboration with Design Fire Consultants (DFC) and the University of Edinburgh’s Fire Research Centre (EFRC).
We built the CladFire platform from the ground up. It is a comprehensive system designed specifically to make complex fire‑testing data genuinely accessible to the people who need it most. Working closely with the teams at DFC and the University of Edinburgh, our challenge was to take a highly technical research initiative and transform it into an intuitive, user-friendly digital experience that empowers fire‑safety professionals right across the industry.
Our role as an agency was to architect and develop the online system that collects, displays, and compares the extensive laboratory data behind CladFire. We focused heavily on creating a seamless user journey—from interactive material combinations to fully downloadable raw datasets, every single feature was crafted to support evidence‑led decision‑making and promote a clearer understanding of cladding fire behaviour.


Seeing DFC’s deep industry expertise and the University of Edinburgh’s world-class research brought to life through a platform that elevates both transparency and usability has been a massive standout project for our team. It is one we are incredibly excited to see shaping safer building practices in the future.
We are currently putting the finishing touches on a comprehensive case study detailing our work on this platform, so keep an eye out for the full portfolio piece coming very soon!
