Fire-Rated Curtain Walling
Facade glazing tested for fire where boundaries or compartments demand it.
Learn more →If a building in Muswell Hill needs fire-rated windows, the starting point is the rating its fire strategy requires. We confirm that, survey the openings and quote a tested system to suit.

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.
Windows used for escape from rooms have their own size and opening rules, and should not be confused with fire-resisting windows.
An opening sash introduces gaps and hardware that all need testing. Fixed fire-rated windows are simpler and more widely available.
If a fire-rated window cannot open, ventilation may need another route. We coordinate with the designer.
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.

Fire-rated windows applies to many building types in Muswell Hill, including blocks of flats and healthcare buildings.
Frames can be slightly heavier, but most can be finished to match surrounding windows.
No. The frame, glazing system and fixings also need to be part of a tested window.
Yes. We survey and install in Muswell Hill and across Greater London, including the N10 district and nearby Wood Green.
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.
