What our fire-rated windows service includes in Muswell Hill

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.

  • Tested opening fire-rated windows where available
  • Matching sightlines to adjacent non-rated windows
  • Fixed fire-rated windows
  • Boundary-wall and escape-route windows

Key checks for Muswell Hill projects

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.

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.

Ventilation

If a fire-rated window cannot open, ventilation may need another route. We coordinate with the designer.

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.

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.
