Fire-Rated Windows in Radcliffe: what's included
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.
- Boundary-wall and escape-route windows
- Matching sightlines to adjacent non-rated windows
- Fixed fire-rated windows
- Fire-stopping to the wall opening

Before you order fire-rated windows: what matters
Ventilation
If a fire-rated window cannot open, ventilation may need another route. We coordinate with the designer.
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.
