Fire-Rated Windows in Winchester: 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.
- External-grade fire glass in sealed units
- Tested opening fire-rated windows where available
- Fixed fire-rated windows
- Boundary-wall and escape-route windows

Before you order fire-rated windows: what matters
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.
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.
England regulations that shape the job
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.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.

FAQs for Winchester
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.
Can you price fire-rated windows in Winchester from photos?
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
How quickly can you survey in Winchester?
Survey timing in Winchester 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.
