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.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Clevedon budgets are not open-ended.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
If an existing frame in a Clevedon building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
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.
Rated windows can usually be finished to match the rest of the elevation.
Windows used for escape from rooms have their own size and opening rules, and should not be confused with fire-resisting windows.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Clevedon, including the BS21 districts, and in nearby Nailsea, Portishead, Weston-super-Mare. Clevedon lies roughly 35 km from Bath, within our Somerset coverage.
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.

No. The frame, glazing system and fixings also need to be part of a tested window.
Frames can be slightly heavier, but most can be finished to match surrounding windows.
