Fire-Rated Curtain Walling
Facade glazing tested for fire where boundaries or compartments demand it.
Learn more →If a building in Littlehampton needs fire-rated windows, the starting point is the rating its fire strategy requires. We confirm that, survey the openings and quote a tested system to suit.
Tell us what you need. We reply with next steps and a guide price.
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.
Windows used for escape from rooms have their own size and opening rules, and should not be confused with fire-resisting windows.
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.
If a fire-rated window cannot open, ventilation may need another route. We coordinate with the designer.
Whether the building is in central Littlehampton or the wider BN17, BN16 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Bognor Regis, Worthing, Chichester. Littlehampton is about 42 km from Crawley, the largest town in our West Sussex coverage.
If an existing frame in a Littlehampton building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Littlehampton budgets are not open-ended.
We can phase work in Littlehampton 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.
Sector guides below cover offices, care homes and other buildings in Littlehampton.
No. The frame, glazing system and fixings also need to be part of a tested window.
Some can, if the opening version has been tested. Fixed fire-rated windows are more common.
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.
Survey timing in Littlehampton 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.
