What to check before ordering fire-rated windows in Bolton
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.
Matching appearance
Rated windows can usually be finished to match the rest of the elevation.
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.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.
