Complete construction
Frames, glazing and its fixings work together as a single structure. We also account for the required system infills and seals when selecting the solution.
Our range / Windows
Fire-resistant windows
Fire-resistant windows have a verified fire-resistance classification and are intended for locations requiring protection against the spread of fire. The classification defines the properties retained by the complete assembly and how long they are maintained under test conditions. We select windows to suit the project requirements, intended application and installation conditions.
Application
Fire-resistant windows and doors to match the design
The starting point is the fire-resistance classification and intended location stated in the project documentation. We check the type of separating structure, the assembly dimensions and whether the glazing should be fixed or openable. This information determines the available system solutions.
Fire-resistant glass alone does not make an ordinary window fire-rated. All components must form a complete assembly covered by the appropriate classification. We therefore agree the appearance, function and dimensions within the capabilities of the specific system.
Dimensions and opening style
Permitted dimensions, divisions and fittings depend on the solution's scope of application. Fixed and openable assemblies may have different capabilities.
Connection to the surrounding construction
The wall type, fixing method and perimeter sealing matter for correct installation. We check the installation conditions before accepting the order.
Before choosing
Information needed for selection
- Required class
- Provide the classification and required fire-resistance period specified in the design. We use this to check which constructions meet the project requirements.
- Drawings and location
- We need the dimensions, divisions, type of separating structure and planned opening style. It also matters whether the assembly will be inside the building or in the facade.
- Complete specification
- The quotation specifies the system, glazing, fittings and scope of installation. We confirm the documentation relating to the proposed solution.
Questions before buying
Fire-resistant windows — what should you know?
Can any window be considered fire-rated?
No. The term ‘fire-resistant’ applies to windows and doors with a confirmed fire-resistance classification. The properties of the glass or frame alone do not establish the protection offered by the whole window. The complete construction must have an appropriate classification and be installed within its approved scope of application.
Can an ordinary window be made fire-resistant by replacing the glass?
Replacing the glazing alone is not enough to achieve a fire-resistance classification. A complete system-based assembly is needed, with the correct frames, fixings, seals and fittings.
Can fire-rated windows open?
Some systems offer opening constructions. Their availability, dimensions, fittings and classification depend on the specific solution. We check these options against the project requirements.
How do I request a quote for fire-resistant windows and doors?
Send a window and door schedule or drawings showing the required classification and installation location. We will check what our network can provide and prepare the scope of a quotation for the specified assembly.
