Fire Rated Windows Installed for Legal Basement Suite in Calgary π π₯
Just completed another project that more Calgary homeowners need to know about.
A Calgary homeowner was developing a legal basement suite and during the permit process, the City of Calgary flagged a requirement most people don't expect: fire rated windows.
Three fire rated windows needed - supplied and installed - before the suite could pass inspection and be legally rented out.
We handled everything. β
Why Legal Basement Suites Require Fire Rated Windows
The City of Calgary takes fire safety in secondary suites seriously - and for good reason.
When you're creating a living space below grade with tenants, the building code requires specific fire separation between the suite and the rest of the home. Part of that means windows that can withstand fire long enough to allow safe evacuation.
Not optional. Not negotiable. Required by code.
Many Calgary homeowners don't find out until they're mid-development and the inspector flags it. That's where we come in.
