Fire-Rated Windows in Risca: 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.
- Matching sightlines to adjacent non-rated windows
- Fixed fire-rated windows
- Boundary-wall and escape-route windows
- Fire-stopping to the wall opening
Key checks for Risca projects
Matching appearance
Rated windows can usually be finished to match the rest of the elevation.
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.
Ventilation
If a fire-rated window cannot open, ventilation may need another route. We coordinate with the designer.

Which rules apply to fire-rated windows in Risca?
Wales Which rules apply?
Building regulations are devolved in Wales, so fire safety design follows the Welsh Ministers' version of Approved Document B rather than the English one, alongside impact safety guidance for glazing.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, so the responsible person must maintain fire-resisting glazing as part of the premises' fire safety measures. The Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed this extends to the structure, external walls and flat entrance doors of multi-occupied residential buildings.
