Product Description
This fire-rated window concept is designed for projects that require both fire compartmentation and natural light. The frame, glazing and seals are treated as one tested assembly, with clearly defined parameters for fire rating, glass size and hardware integration.
| Window Type | Fixed or tested operable fire window, single or multi-pane assembly |
|---|---|
| Frame Material | Steel or aluminium profiles designed for fire testing and sealing |
| Glazing Type | Certified fire-rated glass suitable for window applications |
| Fire Rating | Project-based, typically 30–90 minutes according to test classification |
| Max Glass Area | Exposed glass area and layout follow the approved test configuration |
| Sealing System | Fire-rated seals, beads and perimeter gaskets included in the certified assembly |
| Opening Function | Fixed glazing by default; operable units only where tested and certified |
| Testing Standard | Aligned with EN 1634-1 or comparable fire window test standard |
| Typical Application | Corridors, lobbies, stair cores, cleanrooms, medical and industrial areas |
| Integration | Designed to integrate with wall construction and nearby fire doors |
Frame and Glazing StructureFrame Construction
Fire window frames are built from steel or aluminium profiles sized to support the glazing and resist deformation under fire exposure. Joints and anchors are designed to keep the frame stable and maintain contact with the surrounding wall construction during thermal loading.
Glazing and Seal Interfaces
Fire-rated glass is installed with tested beads and seals that control heat transfer and limit flames and hot gases. The glazing system is part of the certified assembly; sizes, thicknesses and seal details follow the tested design to preserve fire performance.
Design and Material Selection
- Define required fire rating and glazing area with fire engineering input.
- Select frame profiles, glazing and seals that match certified tests.
- Detail wall interfaces and anchors in coordination with building structure.
Fabrication and Assembly
- Fabricate frame components to tested dimensions and tolerances.
- Install glazing with certified beads and seals, complete perimeter gaskets.
- Check alignment, seal integrity and frame geometry before packaging.
Internal Fire Partitions
Internal walls dividing corridors and lobbies into fire compartments, where visibility through the partition is required.
Stair and Core Walls
Fire-rated windows in stair enclosures and core walls, allowing light while preserving fire-resistance design.
Cleanroom and Medical Areas
Fire-rated vision panels between cleanrooms or medical spaces and adjacent corridors, combining fire safety with process visibility.
Installation
- Install frames using anchors and sealants specified for the certified assembly.
- Control clearances and interfaces with surrounding walls according to design.
- Ensure glazing is installed with correct beads and seals without substitution.
- Coordinate installation with fire door systems in adjacent openings.
Maintenance
- Inspect glazing, beads, seals and frame integrity at regular intervals.
- Replace damaged components only with certified parts from the approved system.
- Record maintenance actions to support fire safety audits and code compliance.
1. What is a fire-rated window and when is it used?
It is a window assembly tested for fire resistance, used in compartments requiring light and visibility while controlling fire spread.
2. How is the fire rating determined?
The frame and glazing are tested together to standards such as EN 1634-1, determining the time they maintain integrity and, if applicable, insulation.
3. What glazing types can be used?
Only certified fire-rated glazing suitable for window use and tested in the assembly can be used.
4. Are there size limits?
Yes. Size and layout must follow the tested configuration, including limits on glass area and dimensions for each rating.
5. Can fire windows be operable?
Some assemblies allow operable functions if tested as such. Otherwise, windows are fixed to preserve performance.
6. Where are fire windows commonly installed?
In internal or external fire partitions such as corridors, cores, cleanrooms and medical spaces.
7. How must installation be handled?
Installation must follow certified details, with controlled clearances and use of approved anchors and sealants.
8. What maintenance is required?
Regular inspection, cleaning and certified replacement of any damaged seals, beads or glazing are required.
9. Can fire windows be used in cleanrooms or medical projects?
Yes, when materials and detailing meet both fire and hygiene requirements.
10. What documentation is provided?
Fire test reports, classification documents, installation instructions and maintenance guidance support design and approval.
