Specified to suit your glazing, frame and project requirements
Fire Rated Windows for Commercial Buildings and Glazed Fire Separation
Fire rated windows are used where a building requires glazed openings while maintaining suitable fire separation between different areas. They are commonly specified in commercial, residential, education, healthcare and public-sector buildings where natural light, visibility and fire safety all need to be considered together.
Maxium Doors can support fire rated window and glazed screen requirements as part of a wider commercial doors and windows package. This makes them a practical choice for contractors, developers and facilities teams who need glazing that works alongside fire doors, entrance systems, internal screens, corridors, stairwells and shared access routes.
Typical Applications
Communal Corridors and Stairwells
Fire rated windows can be used to maintain visibility and natural light around protected routes, lobbies, stairwells and communal circulation areas.
Offices and Commercial Buildings
They are suitable for internal glazed screens, partitions and windows where fire separation is required between offices, corridors or service areas.
Schools, Colleges and Public Buildings
Fire rated glazing can help create safer, brighter spaces where visibility, supervision, natural light and fire protection all need to work together.
Apartment Blocks and Mixed-Use Developments
Fire rated windows may be specified in shared entrances, corridors, lobbies and service areas where fire safety requirements need to be balanced with appearance and usability.
Plant Rooms and Service Areas
Where plant or service rooms sit close to occupied spaces, fire rated glazing may be used as part of a wider fire-rated opening or screen arrangement.
Fire Rated Glazing for New Builds and Refurbishment Projects
Fire rated windows can be used in both new-build developments and refurbishment projects. In new buildings, they can be planned into the design from an early stage, helping architects and contractors balance fire compartmentation, natural light, visibility and the overall appearance of the interior.
For existing buildings, fire rated windows and glazed screens can be used to replace older internal glazing, upgrade corridor screens or improve fire separation in key locations. They are especially useful where a building needs to meet modern safety expectations without losing the benefit of light, openness and visual connection between spaces.
Fire Rated Windows for Safer, Brighter Commercial Spaces
Fire Rated Windows, Doors and Glazed Screens from One Supplier
For many commercial projects, fire rated windows are only one part of the wider fire safety and access package. The same building may also require fire doors, steel doors, communal entrance doors, glazed screens, service doors, fire exits or secure access points.
Maxium Doors can help support projects where multiple opening types need to work together. This can make the specification process simpler for contractors, developers and facilities teams, particularly where the building needs a consistent approach across windows, doors, glazing, access control, security and fire performance.

Product Details
Fire rated windows are specified where glazed openings need to support the fire safety strategy of a commercial, residential or public-sector building.
They are commonly used in corridors, stairwells, lobbies, communal areas, classrooms, offices and other locations where visibility and natural light need to be balanced with fire separation.
Each fire rated window or glazed screen can be specified to suit the opening, surrounding construction and intended use.
