fire rated frame and glass

[colw1]

hi could anyone tell me where I can purchase a frame and glass that is fie rated . I ask this question because i am having an extension built and building regs say I must have fire rated equipment on the side as i am over 1m in size and closer than 1m to the boundary, but i am have problems locating info on this . the glass is not so bad but no from info, oh yeah the rest of the windows are light oak upvc
thanks col

You'll need to trawl the web for this one really, they're a rare beast - fire rated timber windows, steel is more common! You'll need it to be non-opening, 1/2 hour rated, integrity only and compliant with part L.
For advice and possbile manufacturers give these people a ringo: http://www.bwf.org.uk/thebwf_contacts.html
and these: http://www.trada.co.uk/about/contact.html

These people do a timber one: http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?i...=1&hl=en&cr=countryUK|countryGB&safe=off&sa=N don't know if they can do it in oak, does it have to be oak?
