Fire-Rated Windows in Chesham: what's included
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.
- Fixed fire-rated windows
- Fire-stopping to the wall opening
- Boundary-wall and escape-route windows
- Tested opening fire-rated windows where available
What to check before ordering fire-rated windows in Chesham
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.
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.
Ventilation
If a fire-rated window cannot open, ventilation may need another route. We coordinate with the designer.
