What's involved with fire-rated windows in Bexhill-on-Sea
Most fire-rated windows are fixed lights, because opening windows need the opening sash, hinges and locks to be tested too. We supply and install fixed and, where tested, opening fire-rated windows in steel, aluminium and timber, matched to the surrounding windows where possible.
- External-grade fire glass in sealed units
- Matching sightlines to adjacent non-rated windows
- Boundary-wall and escape-route windows
- Fire-stopping to the wall opening
How we work in Bexhill-on-Sea
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Bexhill-on-Sea building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Work around occupied buildings
We can phase work in Bexhill-on-Sea around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Fixed written quotes
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Bexhill-on-Sea budgets are not open-ended.
Key checks for Bexhill-on-Sea projects
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.
Boundary distance
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.
Matching appearance
Rated windows can usually be finished to match the rest of the elevation.
