Fire-Rated Windows in Herne Bay: what's included

- Matching sightlines to adjacent non-rated windows
- Fixed fire-rated windows
- External-grade fire glass in sealed units
- Fire-stopping to the wall opening

What to check before ordering fire-rated windows in Herne Bay
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.
Matching appearance
Rated windows can usually be finished to match the rest of the elevation.
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.
