Fire-Rated Windows: what you get in Oxfordshire
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.
- Tested opening fire-rated windows where available
- Boundary-wall and escape-route windows
- Fire-stopping to the wall opening

Before you order in Oxfordshire
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.
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.
Matching appearance
Rated windows can usually be finished to match the rest of the elevation.
Regulations for Oxfordshire projects
England Which rules apply?
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
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.
Questions from Oxfordshire clients
Is fire-rated glass in a standard window enough?
No. The frame, glazing system and fixings also need to be part of a tested window.
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.
Do you cover all of Oxfordshire?
Yes. We take enquiries from across Oxfordshire, including Oxford and Banbury, Abingdon, Bicester, Didcot, and arrange surveys to suit your programme.
