What our fire-rated windows service includes in Northolt
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.
- Matching sightlines to adjacent non-rated windows
- Fire-stopping to the wall opening
- Boundary-wall and escape-route windows
- Tested opening fire-rated windows where available
What you can expect in Northolt
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Northolt building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Fixed written quotes
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Northolt budgets are not open-ended.
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Northolt identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Before you order fire-rated windows: what matters
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.
Retrofits
Replacing a non-rated window near a boundary is often triggered by an extension or change of use. We survey the opening before quoting.
