What's involved with fire-rated windows in Camborne
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
- Boundary-wall and escape-route windows
- External-grade fire glass in sealed units
- Tested opening fire-rated windows where available
What to check before ordering fire-rated windows in Camborne
Matching appearance
Rated windows can usually be finished to match the rest of the elevation.
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.
