What our fire-rated windows service includes in West Yorkshire
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.
- Fixed fire-rated windows
- Matching sightlines to adjacent non-rated windows
- Tested opening fire-rated windows where available
What to check before ordering in West Yorkshire
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.
Ventilation
If a fire-rated window cannot open, ventilation may need another route. We coordinate with the designer.
Which rules apply in England?
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.
Questions from West Yorkshire clients
Do fire-rated windows look different?
Frames can be slightly heavier, but most can be finished to match surrounding windows.
When do I need a fire-rated window?
Usually when a wall is close to a boundary, when a window overlooks a protected escape route, or when part of a building faces another part at close range. Your designer or building control will confirm.
Can fire-rated windows open?
Some can, if the opening version has been tested. Fixed fire-rated windows are more common.
Do you cover all of West Yorkshire?
Yes. We take enquiries from across West Yorkshire, including Leeds and Bradford, Huddersfield, Wakefield, Halifax, and arrange surveys to suit your programme.
