What's involved with fire-rated windows in Belfast
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.
- Fire-stopping to the wall opening
- External-grade fire glass in sealed units
- Tested opening fire-rated windows where available
- Matching sightlines to adjacent non-rated windows
What to check before ordering fire-rated windows in Belfast
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.
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.

No. The frame, glazing system and fixings also need to be part of a tested 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.

Yes. We survey and install in Belfast and across County Antrim, including the BT1 district and nearby Newtownabbey.
