Fire-Rated Curtain Walling
Facade glazing tested for fire where boundaries or compartments demand it.
Learn more →From the CR4 district outwards, we arrange fire-rated windows for buildings across Mitcham, matching glass, frames and seals to tested evidence rather than guesswork.

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.
We cover Mitcham and the surrounding postcode districts, including CR4, SM4, SW19, SW17, SW16, SM5. Nearby towns we also serve include Morden, Wimbledon, Streatham. We cover Mitcham as part of our Greater London coverage.
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.
Windows used for escape from rooms have their own size and opening rules, and should not be confused with fire-resisting windows.
Rated windows can usually be finished to match the rest of the elevation.
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.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Mitcham budgets are not open-ended.
If an existing frame in a Mitcham building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
We can phase work in Mitcham around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Sector guides below cover blocks of flats, healthcare buildings and other buildings in Mitcham.
No. The frame, glazing system and fixings also need to be part of a tested 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.
Yes. We survey and install in Mitcham and across Greater London, including the CR4 district and nearby Morden.
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.
