What our fire-rated windows service includes in Horsham
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.
- Boundary-wall and escape-route windows
- Matching sightlines to adjacent non-rated windows
- Tested opening fire-rated windows where available
- External-grade fire glass in sealed units

What to check before ordering fire-rated windows in Horsham
Matching appearance
Rated windows can usually be finished to match the rest of the elevation.
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.
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.

England regulations that shape the job
England Which rules apply?
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.

FAQs for Horsham
Can fire-rated windows open?
Some can, if the opening version has been tested. Fixed fire-rated windows are more common.
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.
Do you carry out fire-rated windows in Horsham?
Yes. We survey and install in Horsham and across West Sussex, including the RH12 district and nearby Crawley.
How quickly can you survey in Horsham?
Survey timing in Horsham depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
