What's involved with fire-rated windows in Sandhurst
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.
- Boundary-wall and escape-route windows
- Matching sightlines to adjacent non-rated windows
- Fire-stopping to the wall opening
- External-grade fire glass in sealed units

What to check before ordering fire-rated windows in Sandhurst
Retrofits
Replacing a non-rated window near a boundary is often triggered by an extension or change of use. We survey the opening before quoting.
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.
Ventilation
If a fire-rated window cannot open, ventilation may need another route. We coordinate with the designer.

Questions about fire-rated windows in Sandhurst
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.
Can fire-rated windows open?
Some can, if the opening version has been tested. Fixed fire-rated windows are more common.
Can you price fire-rated windows in Sandhurst 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.
How quickly can you survey in Sandhurst?
Survey timing in Sandhurst 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.
