Fire-Rated Windows in Hebburn: what's included

- Matching sightlines to adjacent non-rated windows
- External-grade fire glass in sealed units
- Tested opening fire-rated windows where available
- Fire-stopping to the wall opening

What to check before ordering fire-rated windows in Hebburn
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.
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.
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.
