Fire Rated Timber Windows & Fire Rated Glazed External Grade Timber Doors

At Sashed, we take safety and building regulations seriously. Our range of fire rated windows and fire rated glazed external grade doors not only meets the most demanding safety requirements but also preserves the elegance and character of your property.

All of our fire rated products adhere to the Glass and Glazing Federation’s Best Practice in the Specification and Use of Fire-Resistant Glazed Systems. Each unit is carefully engineered and rigorously tested, ensuring exceptional fire performance without compromising aesthetics.


Built to Protect – FR30 Fire Rating

Our fire rated windows and doors are designed to resist the spread of fire for 30 minutes using specialist Contraflam FR30 glass. This advanced fire-rated glazing system can even be specified in double-glazed configurations, offering fire protection on one or both sides (inside and outside) while maintaining thermal efficiency.


Fire Rated Windows – Safety Without Sacrificing Style

Technically classified as fire rated screens, our fire rated windows are non-opening for maximum fire integrity. However, we can make them look indistinguishable from functional modern or period-style windows, manufactured in hardwood timbers to deliver both strength and fire integrity.

We have even developed fire rated sliding sash-style windows that have been approved for planning in conservation areas – a true challenge that required innovative design, careful engineering, and attention to detail to satisfy both safety regulations and heritage aesthetics.
