What our fire-rated windows service includes in Earley
Fire-rated windows are windows tested as complete units to resist fire, needed where an external wall must protect a neighbouring property, where a window looks onto a protected stair or escape route, or where two parts of a building face each other at close range.
- Matching sightlines to adjacent non-rated windows
- Fire-stopping to the wall opening
- Fixed fire-rated windows
- Boundary-wall and escape-route windows
Key checks for Earley projects
Boundary distance
The closer a wall is to a boundary, the less unprotected area it can have. Fixed windows that meet the wall's full fire-resistance requirement, including insulation where required, are not counted as unprotected area; integrity-only glazing generally still is.
Matching appearance
Rated windows can usually be finished to match the rest of the elevation.
Escape windows are different
Windows used for escape from rooms have their own size and opening rules, and should not be confused with fire-resisting windows.
Earley coverage and nearby towns

Questions about fire-rated windows in Earley
Can fire-rated windows open?
Some can, if the opening version has been tested. Fixed fire-rated windows are more common.
When do I need a fire-rated window?
Usually when a wall is close to a boundary, when a window overlooks a protected escape route, or when part of a building faces another part at close range. Your designer or building control will confirm.
How quickly can you survey in Earley?
Survey timing in Earley depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
Can you price fire-rated windows in Earley from photos?
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
