What our fire-rated windows service includes in Livingston
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.
- Tested opening fire-rated windows where available
- Fire-stopping to the wall opening
- Boundary-wall and escape-route windows
- External-grade fire glass in sealed units

What to check before ordering fire-rated windows in Livingston
Ventilation
If a fire-rated window cannot open, ventilation may need another route. We coordinate with the designer.
Why fixed lights are common
An opening sash introduces gaps and hardware that all need testing. Fixed fire-rated windows are simpler and more widely available.
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.
Scotland regulations that shape the job
Scotland Which rules apply?
In Scotland, building work needs a building warrant under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with fire guidance in Section 2 of the Building Standards Technical Handbooks rather than Approved Documents.
For relevant premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 place duties on the duty holder to maintain fire safety measures, which include fire-resisting glazing.
Scottish guidance has its own approach to escape routes and compartmentation, so glazing designs are checked against the Technical Handbooks and the warrant drawings.

Fire-Rated Windows: Livingston questions
Can fire-rated windows open?
Some can, if the opening version has been tested. Fixed fire-rated windows are more common.
When do I need a fire-rated window?
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.
Do you carry out fire-rated windows in Livingston?
Yes. We survey and install in Livingston and across Edinburgh and the Lothians, including the EH54 district and nearby Bathgate.
Can you price fire-rated windows in Livingston from photos?
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.
