Fire-Rated Curtain Walling
Facade glazing tested for fire where boundaries or compartments demand it.
Learn more →From the NW10 district outwards, we arrange fire-rated windows for buildings across Willesden, matching glass, frames and seals to tested evidence rather than guesswork.
Tell us what you need. We reply with next steps and a guide price.
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.
We can phase work in Willesden around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Every quote in Willesden identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
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.
Replacing a non-rated window near a boundary is often triggered by an extension or change of use. We survey the opening before quoting.
If a fire-rated window cannot open, ventilation may need another route. We coordinate with the designer.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Willesden, including the NW10, W10, NW6, NW2, W12, W3 districts, and in nearby Cricklewood, Notting Hill, Shepherds Bush. We cover Willesden as part of our Greater London coverage.
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.
Sector guides below cover retail and leisure units, student accommodation and other buildings in Willesden.
No. The frame, glazing system and fixings also need to be part of a tested window.
Some can, if the opening version has been tested. Fixed fire-rated windows are more common.
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.
