What our fire-rated windows service includes in Burnham-on-Sea
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.
- Fire-stopping to the wall opening
- Fixed fire-rated windows
- Tested opening fire-rated windows where available
- Matching sightlines to adjacent non-rated windows
Key checks for Burnham-on-Sea 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.
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.
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.
