What's involved with fire-rated windows in Wimbledon

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.

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

What to check before ordering fire-rated windows in Wimbledon

Why fixed lights are common

An opening sash introduces gaps and hardware that all need testing. Fixed fire-rated windows are simpler and more widely available.

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.

Fire glazing rules in England

England Which rules apply?

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.
