What's involved with fire-rated windows in Bexley

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.

  • Matching sightlines to adjacent non-rated windows
  • Fire-stopping to the wall opening
  • Boundary-wall and escape-route windows
  • Fixed fire-rated windows

What to check before ordering fire-rated windows in Bexley

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.

Matching appearance

Rated windows can usually be finished to match the rest of the elevation.

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.
