What's involved with fire-rated windows in Heywood
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.
- Tested opening fire-rated windows where available
- Fire-stopping to the wall opening
- Matching sightlines to adjacent non-rated windows
- Boundary-wall and escape-route windows
Key checks for Heywood projects
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.
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.
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.
Heywood coverage and nearby towns
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Heywood, including the OL10, OL11, M24 districts, and in nearby Middleton, Rochdale, Bury. Heywood lies roughly 12 km from Manchester, within our Greater Manchester coverage.
