Asking about fire-rated uPVC windows? Here's an honest explanation of uPVC and fire.
uPVC is inherently fire-retardant — it's self-extinguishing and doesn't support combustion the way timber does. For specific fire-rating requirements, specialised fire-rated glazing systems exist; standard uPVC windows are fire-retardant rather than formally fire-rated.
For most homes, uPVC's inherent fire-retardant nature is a safety plus over timber. If you have a specific fire-rating requirement (e.g. for a code), tell us and we'll advise on what's suitable.

It's self-extinguishing and doesn't help a fire spread, unlike wood — a safety plus. It's not fireproof.
