What our fire-rated windows service includes in Walthamstow

- Matching sightlines to adjacent non-rated windows
- External-grade fire glass in sealed units
- Fire-stopping to the wall opening
What to check before ordering fire-rated windows in Walthamstow
Ventilation
If a fire-rated window cannot open, ventilation may need another route. We coordinate with the designer.
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.
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.
