Fire-Rated Curtain Walling
Facade glazing tested for fire where boundaries or compartments demand it.
Learn more →For Royal Leamington Spa buildings, we supply, replace and check fire-rated windows wherever the fire strategy depends on it, working to the tested system rather than the glass alone.

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.
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.
Windows used for escape from rooms have their own size and opening rules, and should not be confused with fire-resisting windows.
Replacing a non-rated window near a boundary is often triggered by an extension or change of use. We survey the opening before quoting.
Coverage around Royal Leamington Spa includes the CV32, CV31, CV33, CV34 districts and nearby Warwick, Kenilworth, Coventry. Nuneaton, around 27 km from Royal Leamington Spa, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Royal Leamington Spa budgets are not open-ended.
If an existing frame in a Royal Leamington Spa building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
We can phase work in Royal Leamington Spa around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
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.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.
Fire-rated windows applies to many building types in Royal Leamington Spa, including schools and colleges and care homes.
Frames can be slightly heavier, but most can be finished to match surrounding windows.
Usually when a wall is close to a boundary, when a window overlooks a protected escape route, or when part of a building faces another part at close range. Your designer or building control will confirm.
Yes. We survey and install in Royal Leamington Spa and across Warwickshire, including the CV32 district and nearby Warwick.
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
