Before you order fire-rated windows: what matters
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.
Which rules apply to fire-rated windows in Portslade?
England Which rules apply?

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
