What's involved with fire-rated windows in New Milton
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.
- Matching sightlines to adjacent non-rated windows
- Boundary-wall and escape-route windows
- Fixed fire-rated windows
- Tested opening fire-rated windows where available
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.
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.
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.

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

Fire-Rated Windows: New Milton questions
Do fire-rated windows look different?
Frames can be slightly heavier, but most can be finished to match surrounding windows.
When do I need a fire-rated window?
Usually when a wall is close to a boundary, when a window overlooks a protected escape route, or when part of a building faces another part at close range. Your designer or building control will confirm.
Do you work on occupied buildings in New Milton?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
Do you carry out fire-rated windows in New Milton?
Yes. We survey and install in New Milton and across Hampshire, including the BH25 district and nearby Christchurch.
