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.
Our Buckinghamshire coverage takes in Chalfont St Peter (SL9, HP8, HP9) and the neighbouring towns of Gerrards Cross, Rickmansworth, Amersham. Chalfont St Peter lies roughly 50 km from Milton Keynes, within our Buckinghamshire coverage.
An opening sash introduces gaps and hardware that all need testing. Fixed fire-rated windows are simpler and more widely available.
Replacing a non-rated window near a boundary is often triggered by an extension or change of use. We survey the opening before quoting.
Rated windows can usually be finished to match the rest of the elevation.
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing.
