Fire rated windows from stock

Euroglaze is reminding installers who need 30-minute PVC-U fire windows in a hurry, that they can once again order the two most popular sizes (600mm x 1,000mm and 1,000mm x 1,000mm) from stock, and receive delivery nationwide in just five working days. 

The Barnsley based fabricator, one of only a handful of accredited companies in the UK trained and trusted by Rehau to manufacture its Rauferno range of fire rated windows, says demand has risen this year for applications in fire escapes, entrance halls and integral garages.

On small and large scale contracts where just one or two fire rated windows are needed for protected areas, Euroglaze’s service means installers can call off the windows they need as and when, without worrying that the job will be held up waiting for deliveries.

As well as the stock service for white frames fitted with a 20mm double glazed unit comprising 6mm Pyran to the outside, 4mm non-wired float glass to the inside and a 10mm steel spacer, Euroglaze also offers made-to-order Rauferno fire rated windows in any standard RAL colour and with the option of clear or obscure glass as required.

Martin Nettleton, Euroglaze’s managing director, commented: “We pride ourselves on offering probably the most comprehensive range of Rehau products of any trade fabricator in the UK – and that includes the niche products like Rauferno. We’ve built a strong reputation on fire-rated windows, and we deliberately structure our offering so that we can meet the requirements of any project at prices which remain competitive.”

All Rauferno 30-minute fire rated windows are based around Rehau’s Total70 profile system, so they have all the conventional design and durability benefits of PVC-U, but with a patented intumescent insert which enables them to meet the requirements of Building Regs Part B and BS476 Part 22.
