What our fire-rated windows service includes in Sevenoaks
Fire-rated windows are windows tested as complete units to resist fire, needed where an external wall must protect a neighbouring property, where a window looks onto a protected stair or escape route, or where two parts of a building face each other at close range.
- Fire-stopping to the wall opening
- Matching sightlines to adjacent non-rated windows
- Fixed fire-rated windows
- Boundary-wall and escape-route windows
Before you order fire-rated windows: what matters
Ventilation
If a fire-rated window cannot open, ventilation may need another route. We coordinate with the designer.
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.
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.
Sevenoaks coverage and nearby towns
Coverage around Sevenoaks includes the TN13, TN14 districts and nearby Tonbridge, Swanley, Royal Tunbridge Wells. Sevenoaks is about 23 km from Maidstone, the largest town in our Kent coverage.
