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.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
If an existing frame in a Hailsham building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
We can phase work in Hailsham around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
An opening sash introduces gaps and hardware that all need testing. Fixed fire-rated windows are simpler and more widely available.
Rated windows can usually be finished to match the rest of the elevation.
If a fire-rated window cannot open, ventilation may need another route. We coordinate with the designer.
Whether the building is in central Hailsham or the wider BN27 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Eastbourne, Seaford, Bexhill-on-Sea. Brighton, around 28 km from Hailsham, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
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.
Fire-rated windows applies to many building types in Hailsham, including retail and leisure units and schools and colleges.
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.
No. The frame, glazing system and fixings also need to be part of a tested window.
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.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
