Fire-Rated Windows in Aston: what's included
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.
- External-grade fire glass in sealed units
- Tested opening fire-rated windows where available
- Fire-stopping to the wall opening
- Boundary-wall and escape-route windows

We can phase work in Aston around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Aston identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Fixed written quotes
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Aston budgets are not open-ended.
Key checks for Aston projects
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.
Ventilation
If a fire-rated window cannot open, ventilation may need another route. We coordinate with the designer.
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.

FAQs for Aston
Is fire-rated glass in a standard window enough?
No. The frame, glazing system and fixings also need to be part of a tested window.
Can fire-rated windows open?
Some can, if the opening version has been tested. Fixed fire-rated windows are more common.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Aston?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
Do you carry out fire-rated windows in Aston?
Yes. We survey and install in Aston and across West Midlands, including the B6 district and nearby Birmingham.
