Before you order in County Antrim
Ventilation
If a fire-rated window cannot open, ventilation may need another route. We coordinate with the designer.
Matching appearance
Rated windows can usually be finished to match the rest of the elevation.
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.

Frames can be slightly heavier, but most can be finished to match surrounding windows.
