Fire-Rated Windows: what you get in Norfolk
Most fire-rated windows are fixed lights, because opening windows need the opening sash, hinges and locks to be tested too. We supply and install fixed and, where tested, opening fire-rated windows in steel, aluminium and timber, matched to the surrounding windows where possible.

What to check before ordering in Norfolk
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.
Matching appearance
Rated windows can usually be finished to match the rest of the elevation.
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.

Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
Fire-Rated Windows in Norfolk: questions
Can fire-rated windows open?
Some can, if the opening version has been tested. Fixed fire-rated windows are more common.
Do fire-rated windows look different?
Frames can be slightly heavier, but most can be finished to match surrounding windows.

No. The frame, glazing system and fixings also need to be part of a tested window.
Do you cover all of Norfolk?
Yes. We take enquiries from across Norfolk, including Norwich and Great Yarmouth, King's Lynn, Thetford, and arrange surveys to suit your programme.
