Choose the Project Type
What Does Your Fire-Rated Window Project Need?
Select the closest project condition to see what information should be gathered before pricing, fabrication or replacement.
Review the Approved Opening and Required Rating
Provide the wall type, required rating, rough opening, interior or exterior location and any architectural or fire-separation drawings.
Identify the Existing Assembly Before Ordering Glass
Photograph labels, markings, frame details and the complete opening. Replacement glass must be compatible with the identified rated system.
Assess the Full Frame-and-Glass Assembly
A wider replacement scope may be required when the rated frame, anchors, opening conditions or glazing materials are damaged.
Confirm Fire, Thermal and Weather Requirements Together
Exterior applications may require an identified rated assembly that also addresses insulation, coatings, drainage and perimeter weather sealing.
Price the Project From the Specified System
Send the window schedule, detail, required rating, product specification, finish and opening dimensions for review.
Document the Opening Before Assuming a Replacement Product
Existing labels, glass etching, frame markings, project records and photos may help identify whether a compatible replacement is available.
Before Pricing or Fabrication
Information Needed for a Fire-Rated Window Quote
Project documents and existing product information help define the correct assembly before measurements become an order.
Required Fire Rating
The required duration should come from the approved drawings, schedule or identified existing assembly.
Opening and Wall Type
Provide the wall construction, rough opening and whether the opening is fixed or part of another system.
Interior or Exterior Location
Exterior projects may add thermal, coating, weather-seal and drainage requirements.
Opening Dimensions
Share rough dimensions for preliminary review; final fabrication dimensions require site measurement.
Labels and Product Markings
Photograph any frame labels, glass etching, certification marks or product identifiers.
Frame and Glass Specification
Include any named system, glass makeup, finish, profile or glazing-material requirement.

- The opening and surrounding wall construction are unchanged
- Required labels, markings or project information can be confirmed

Toronto Fire-Rated Window Questions
Commercial Fire-Rated Window FAQs
Final answers depend on the approved project documents, required rating, opening type and identified glass-and-frame system.
What makes a commercial window fire-rated?
A fire-rated window is a documented assembly using compatible rated glass, framing, glazing materials and installation details for a specified application. The glass alone does not establish the performance of the complete opening.
Can damaged fire-rated glass be replaced without replacing the frame?
It may be possible when the existing frame and assembly can be identified, remain suitable and accept a compatible replacement product. If the frame or system cannot be confirmed, a wider replacement scope may be required.
How do I know what fire rating the window needs?
The required rating should come from the approved drawings, window schedule, fire-separation details or project professional. It should not be selected only from the appearance or size of an existing window.
What information is needed to quote a fire-rated window?
Helpful information includes the required rating, wall and opening type, interior or exterior location, rough dimensions, drawings, photos, finish requirements and any labels or product markings.
Can fire-rated windows be installed in exterior walls?
Some documented systems are intended for exterior applications. The project may also need to address thermal performance, coatings, weather sealing and drainage in addition to the required fire rating.
Can an existing standard commercial window be upgraded with fire-rated glass?
Simply replacing standard glass with rated glass does not automatically create a fire-rated opening. The frame, glazing materials, anchoring and surrounding construction must be part of a compatible documented assembly.
Are operable fire-rated windows available?
Availability depends on the project requirements and identified product system. Operability, closing function, hardware, size limits and application must be confirmed from the selected assembly documentation.
How is commercial fire-rated window pricing determined in Toronto?
Pricing depends on the required rating, glass-and-frame system, opening dimensions, interior or exterior application, finish, access, anchoring, glazing materials and project coordination.
