What our fire-rated windows service includes in Romford

  • External-grade fire glass in sealed units
  • Fixed fire-rated windows
  • Fire-stopping to the wall opening
  • Tested opening fire-rated windows where available

What to check before ordering fire-rated windows in Romford

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.

Matching appearance

Rated windows can usually be finished to match the rest of the elevation.

Ventilation

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