Fire-Rated Windows in London: what's included
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.
- External-grade fire glass in sealed units
- Boundary-wall and escape-route windows
- Fixed fire-rated windows
- Matching sightlines to adjacent non-rated windows
Key checks for London projects
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.
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.
Fire glazing rules in England
England Which rules apply?
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: London questions
Can fire-rated windows open?
Some can, if the opening version has been tested. Fixed fire-rated windows are more common.
Is fire-rated glass in a standard window enough?
No. The frame, glazing system and fixings also need to be part of a tested window.
How quickly can you survey in London?
Survey timing in London depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
Do you carry out fire-rated windows in London?
Yes. We survey and install in London and across Greater London, including the EC1A district and nearby Westminster.
