Fire-Rated Curtain Walling
Facade glazing tested for fire where boundaries or compartments demand it.
Learn more →If a building in Staveley needs fire-rated windows, the starting point is the rating its fire strategy requires. We confirm that, survey the openings and quote a tested system to suit.

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.
If an existing frame in a Staveley building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
We can phase work in Staveley around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
The closer a wall is to a boundary, the less unprotected area it can have. Fixed windows that meet the wall's full fire-resistance requirement, including insulation where required, are not counted as unprotected area; integrity-only glazing generally still is.
Rated windows can usually be finished to match the rest of the elevation.
Replacing a non-rated window near a boundary is often triggered by an extension or change of use. We survey the opening before quoting.
Our Derbyshire coverage takes in Staveley (S43, S49) and the neighbouring towns of Chesterfield, Dronfield, Sheffield. Staveley is about 39 km from Derby, the largest town in our Derbyshire coverage.
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
Sector guides below cover offices, schools and colleges and other buildings in Staveley.
No. The frame, glazing system and fixings also need to be part of a tested window.
Frames can be slightly heavier, but most can be finished to match surrounding windows.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
