What to check before ordering fire-rated windows in Royal Tunbridge Wells
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.
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.
