About the project
At Impulse, we were proud to have built the CladFire platform from the ground up — a system designed to make complex fire‑testing data genuinely accessible to the people who need it most.
Working closely with Design Fire Consultants (DFC) and the University of Edinburgh’s Fire Research Centre (EFRC), we transformed a highly technical research initiative into an intuitive digital experience that empowers fire‑safety professionals across the industry.
Our role was to architect and develop the online system that collects, displays, and compares the extensive laboratory data behind CladFire. From interactive material combinations to downloadable raw datasets, every feature was crafted to support evidence‑led decision‑making and clearer understanding of cladding fire behaviour.
Seeing DFC’s expertise and the University of Edinburgh’s research brought to life through a platform that elevates transparency and usability has been a standout project for our team — and one we’re excited to see shaping safer building practices.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Tim and the Impulse team on the CladFire project which we recently launched. CladFire is a digital web platform that provides laboratory fire-testing data to help fire safety professionals better understand how different cladding materials and configurations behave in fire. Impulse designed our company website and when we approached Tim with our idea about providing a digital online database of cladding fire test data which we did in collaboration with the University of Edinburgh Fire Research Centre (EFRC), Tim rose to the occasion providing useful insights that has shaped the successful outcome of the project.
It was quite impressive how Tim was able to successfully navigate through the technical details of the project especially as the project is about fire engineering research. Tim listened to all our concerns and was always happy to make changes whenever we had a new idea we wanted to explore. Tim and the team worked on the website development remarkably well and they set up the database which our development team used for the back end, allowing seamless transition of data to the website. We are delighted with both the service and the end product, and we have received very good feedback on the CladFire website. It is evident that the professionalism of Impulse shines through in their work and we look forward to working with Impulse on more exciting projects!
