German term or phrase: Bauabschluss
Das Brandschutzfenster ist als ein- oder zweiflügelige sowie als festverglaste Variante verfügbar. Ein spezieller Brandschutz-Bauabschluss ist nicht notwendig.

Any ideas what the translation of "Bauabschluss" could be here?

TIA.

I would translate this expression as a whole, in the sense of:
No extra fire protection necessary - these windows will suffice.

end fitting


Explanation:
Not the end of a building, rather the fire guard is free-standing and needs no corner or end-fitting: 'Das Brandschutzfenster ist als ein- oder zweiflügelige sowie als *festverglaste Variante* verfügbar.'

Compare Bauverschluß.
