Fire-Rated Curtain Walling
Facade glazing tested for fire where boundaries or compartments demand it.
Learn more →For Great Malvern buildings, we supply, replace and check fire-rated windows wherever the fire strategy depends on it, working to the tested system rather than the glass alone.

Fire-rated windows are windows tested as complete units to resist fire, needed where an external wall must protect a neighbouring property, where a window looks onto a protected stair or escape route, or where two parts of a building face each other at close range.
Rated windows can usually be finished to match the rest of the elevation.
Windows used for escape from rooms have their own size and opening rules, and should not be confused with fire-resisting windows.
An opening sash introduces gaps and hardware that all need testing. Fixed fire-rated windows are simpler and more widely available.
Our Worcestershire coverage takes in Great Malvern (WR14, WR13) and the neighbouring towns of Worcester, Tewkesbury, Droitwich. Great Malvern lies roughly 11 km from Worcester, within our Worcestershire coverage.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Great Malvern budgets are not open-ended.
We can phase work in Great Malvern 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.
