What our fire-rated windows service includes in Chichester

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.

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

Key checks for Chichester projects

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.

Ventilation

If a fire-rated window cannot open, ventilation may need another route. We coordinate with the designer.
