What our fire-rated windows service includes in Wallasey

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.

  • Matching sightlines to adjacent non-rated windows
  • Fixed fire-rated windows
  • External-grade fire glass in sealed units
  • Boundary-wall and escape-route windows

Before you order fire-rated windows: what matters

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.

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.

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.

Which rules apply to fire-rated windows in Wallasey?

England Which rules apply?
