A controlled fitting is part of a building that must comply with the Building Regulations when being installed or replaced.

Controlled fittings can refer to:

* External windows.
* External doors.
* Roof windows.
* Roof lights.
* Curtain walls.

Under the building regulations in England and Wales, controlled fittings must meet certain energy efficiency requirements, as well as other requirements relating to safety, means of escape and ventilation.

Approved Document L classifies an external window as a 'controlled fitting', which refers to the whole unit including the frame. New and replacement windows in existing homes in England, Wales and Scotland must be at least WER band C or have a U-value of 1.6.
