Fire-Rated Glazed Screens
Internal glazed screens that keep compartments and corridors protected.
Learn more →From the RG14 district outwards, we arrange fire-rated escape route glazing for buildings across Newbury, matching glass, frames and seals to tested evidence rather than guesswork.

We supply and install glazed screens, doors and panels on escape routes in offices, flats, schools and healthcare buildings, working from the fire strategy so integrity and insulation are used in the right places, and smoke control is maintained.
Corridor subdivision doors and double-swing doors normally need vision panels so people do not collide.
We plan installation so escape routes stay available while the building is occupied, or agree temporary arrangements with whoever is responsible for fire safety in the building.
Glazing into a protected stair needs particular care; the rules depend on whether the stair is part of a protected shaft and how the building is used.
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.
Our Berkshire coverage takes in Newbury (RG14, RG20, RG19) and the neighbouring towns of Thatcham, Basingstoke, Didcot. Newbury lies roughly 25 km from Reading, within our Berkshire coverage.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Newbury budgets are not open-ended.
We can phase work in Newbury around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Fire-rated escape route glazing applies to many building types in Newbury, including retail and leisure units and offices.
Doors that subdivide corridors or swing both ways normally do, and the glass must be fire-rated to suit the door.
Yes, if it is fire-rated to the required classification and, for integrity-only glass, within the limits building guidance sets for that position.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
