What is the difference between fire-rated and fire-resistant windows 

There are many types of windows, such as soundproofing, fire-resistant and fire-resistant windows. Next, the editor will briefly explain the differences between fireproof and fireproof windows in Chongqing.

I、What is the difference between fireproof and fire rated windows?
1. Differences in materials: Generally, fire rated window frames are made of stainless steel and steel, while glass is fire resistant. Fire-resistant windows are most often made of aluminum alloy or metal-plastic, and their glass is not fire-resistant.
2. Differences in performance: Fire windows have good fire protection and fire retardant properties, and their fire resistance limit is usually 1-5 hours, so there are no strict requirements for the waterproof performance of windows. Fire-resistant windows must meet waterproof and thermal insulation standards, and their fire resistance rating is usually 1 hour, etc.
3. Differences in installation locations: Fire resistant windows are mostly installed on interior fire walls, while fire resistant windows are mainly used as exterior windows of buildings, such as kitchen windows, bedroom windows, etc.

II. How to choose windows for rooms?
1. When choosing windows for premises, you can choose windows of different styles and colors, taking into account the interior style, installation location and other factors. For example, panoramic windows can be installed on the balcony and in the living room. Thanks to the large glass area, the room will seem spacious and bright. You can install louvered windows in the bathroom: they are moisture-resistant, easy to clean, and by adjusting the position of the slats, you can provide privacy protection.
2. When choosing windows, you also need to pay attention to their size. Before purchasing, you can measure the height, length and width of the window opening with a ruler and select the appropriate window size in accordance with its parameters. When ordering custom-sized windows, you can also ask the door and window manufacturer to measure the window opening. When purchasing windows, you must also consider the material from which they are made. For example, when purchasing aluminum profile windows with thermal break, the thickness of the window profile should usually be at least 1.4 mm, etc.
