What our fire-rated windows service includes in Rhondda

- Fixed fire-rated windows
- Matching sightlines to adjacent non-rated windows
- Fire-stopping to the wall opening
- Tested opening fire-rated windows where available
Before you order fire-rated windows: what matters
Matching appearance
Rated windows can usually be finished to match the rest of the elevation.
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.
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.
Which rules apply to fire-rated windows in Rhondda?
Wales Which rules apply?
Building regulations are devolved in Wales, so fire safety design follows the Welsh Ministers' version of Approved Document B rather than the English one, alongside impact safety guidance for glazing.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, so the responsible person must maintain fire-resisting glazing as part of the premises' fire safety measures. The Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed this extends to the structure, external walls and flat entrance doors of multi-occupied residential buildings.
Wales is introducing its own building safety regime for occupied residential buildings, so check current Welsh requirements before planning major works to blocks of flats.
