Windows…The bonus room firewall

Paul picked up the steel frame for the window at the top of the stairs in the bonus room. This window assembly has to have a 20 minute fire rating because it is in the wall that separates the garage from the bonus room (i.e. the stairwell is part of the garage). Finding a fire rated window assembly that will fit in our opening (and budget) and look reasonably nice has been quite an adventure. After at least three false starts we finally settled on a window with three 19” x 42” glass panes set in a steel frame. The window panes are tempered safety glass and laminated with wire.

We’re already referring to it as Prison Glass!
