Our windows are designed to uphold against high temperature situations such as a fire for between and up to 30 to 60 minutes. Don't take a chance when you can protect yourself, your loved ones and your business!
Fire Resistance!
When refurbishments, conversions & extensions are being
carried out, the existing windows can be upgraded rather than replaced
by installing fire resistant secondary glazing units that have been 30
or 60 minute fire resistance tested in accordance with BS476: Parts
20/22.
Building Regulations - Material Change of Us!
Fire resistant secondary glazing can be installed to meet the requirements of The Building Regulations for A Material Change of Use - which state that fire resistant windows may be required:
* When additional living space is created by way of loft conversions
* When the use of a house or any other property is changed by converting it into flats
* When a non-residential building becomes fully or partly a residential property
* When flats are converted into single dwellings
* When a property is converted into a shop
* When a property is converted into a hotel, boarding house, institution or public building
The requirements are for the windows on the escape routes, including staircases and in protected areas such as the hallway in a flat, to be fire resistant:
* 30 Minutes fire resistance if up to three storeys
* 60 Minutes fire resistance if of four or more storeys
Building Regulations - Building Works to Existing Buildings
Steel secondary glazing with a fire resistance rating can also be
used to meet the requirements of The Building Regulations - Building
Works to Existing Buildings, which state that for any building works in
an existing building that require Planning Permission, elements such as per-existing windows and doors must be upgraded to meet the requirements
of the current Building Regulations.
For Approved Document B - Fire Safety, this will generally only apply in commercial situations.
Please contact us for further information or to discuss your specific requirements if this applies.
