What our fire-rated windows service includes in Southampton
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
- Fire-stopping to the wall opening
- Fixed fire-rated windows
- External-grade fire glass in sealed units
What to check before ordering fire-rated windows in Southampton
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.
Why fixed lights are common
An opening sash introduces gaps and hardware that all need testing. Fixed fire-rated windows are simpler and more widely available.

When do I need a fire-rated window?

Frames can be slightly heavier, but most can be finished to match surrounding windows.
