What's involved with fire-rated windows in Hyde

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

Key checks for Hyde projects
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.
Matching appearance
Rated windows can usually be finished to match the rest of the elevation.
