What's involved with fire-rated windows in Aldridge
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.
- Tested opening fire-rated windows where available
- External-grade fire glass in sealed units
- Boundary-wall and escape-route windows
- Fixed fire-rated windows
What to check before ordering fire-rated windows in Aldridge
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.
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.
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.
