What's involved with fire-rated windows in Basingstoke
Fire-rated windows are windows tested as complete units to resist fire, needed where an external wall must protect a neighbouring property, where a window looks onto a protected stair or escape route, or where two parts of a building face each other at close range.
- Fire-stopping to the wall opening
- Matching sightlines to adjacent non-rated windows
- Boundary-wall and escape-route windows
- External-grade fire glass in sealed units

Before you order fire-rated windows: what matters
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.
Which rules apply to fire-rated windows in Basingstoke?
England Which rules apply?
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.

Questions about fire-rated windows in Basingstoke
Do fire-rated windows look different?
Frames can be slightly heavier, but most can be finished to match surrounding windows.
Is fire-rated glass in a standard window enough?
No. The frame, glazing system and fixings also need to be part of a tested window.

Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
How quickly can you survey in Basingstoke?
Survey timing in Basingstoke depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
