What's involved with fire-rated windows in Swinton

- Tested opening fire-rated windows where available
- Fire-stopping to the wall opening
- Fixed fire-rated windows
- Boundary-wall and escape-route windows

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