What's involved with fire-rated windows in Wellingborough
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.
- Boundary-wall and escape-route windows
- Fire-stopping to the wall opening
- Tested opening fire-rated windows where available
- Fixed fire-rated windows
Key checks for Wellingborough projects
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.
Ventilation
If a fire-rated window cannot open, ventilation may need another route. We coordinate with the designer.
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.

Can you price fire-rated windows in Wellingborough from photos?
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
Do you carry out fire-rated windows in Wellingborough?
Yes. We survey and install in Wellingborough and across Northamptonshire, including the NN8 district and nearby Rushden.
