What to check before ordering in County Tyrone
Ventilation
If a fire-rated window cannot open, ventilation may need another route. We coordinate with the designer.
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.
Retrofits
Replacing a non-rated window near a boundary is often triggered by an extension or change of use. We survey the opening before quoting.
