What our fire-rated windows service includes in Farnworth

- Tested opening fire-rated windows where available
- Fire-stopping to the wall opening
- External-grade fire glass in sealed units
Key checks for Farnworth projects
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.
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.
