  • Tested opening fire-rated windows where available
  • Fixed fire-rated windows
  • External-grade fire glass in sealed units

What to check before ordering fire-rated windows in Godalming

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.

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.

Which rules apply to fire-rated windows in Godalming?

England Which rules apply?
