What's involved with fire-rated windows in Maidenhead
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
- Fixed fire-rated windows
- Tested opening fire-rated windows where available
- Boundary-wall and escape-route windows
What to check before ordering fire-rated windows in Maidenhead
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.
Ventilation
If a fire-rated window cannot open, ventilation may need another route. We coordinate with the designer.
Why fixed lights are common
An opening sash introduces gaps and hardware that all need testing. Fixed fire-rated windows are simpler and more widely available.
