What our fire-rated windows service includes in Hereford

- External-grade fire glass in sealed units
- Tested opening fire-rated windows where available
- Fire-stopping to the wall opening
- Fixed fire-rated windows
What every Hereford quote includes
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Hereford identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
England rules applied
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Fixed written quotes
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Hereford budgets are not open-ended.
Key checks for Hereford projects
Matching appearance
Rated windows can usually be finished to match the rest of the elevation.
Ventilation
If a fire-rated window cannot open, ventilation may need another route. We coordinate with the designer.
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.
Hereford coverage and nearby towns
Whether the building is in central Hereford or the wider HR1 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Great Malvern, Worcester, Tewkesbury. Hereford is the largest town in our Herefordshire coverage.
