Fire-Rated Glazed Screens
Internal glazed screens that keep compartments and corridors protected.
Learn more →We provide fire-rated escape route glazing in Chalk Farm and across Greater London, working from the classification your building needs and handing over the evidence that proves what was fitted.

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.
Building guidance limits the amount and position of integrity-only glass on protected routes because people may need to pass close to it while fire is on the other side. Insulating glass removes most of those limits.
In England, blocks of flats over 11 metres need regular checks of communal fire doors, including glazed ones.
Doors on escape routes usually need smoke seals as well as fire resistance, so the smoke-control classification matters too.
We cover Chalk Farm and the surrounding postcode districts, including NW3, NW5, NW1, NW1W, NW26, N7. Nearby towns we also serve include Camden Town, Holloway, Archway. Chalk Farm sits within our Greater London coverage, alongside Camden Town.
Every quote in Chalk Farm identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
If an existing frame in a Chalk Farm building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
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.
Sector guides below cover healthcare buildings, schools and colleges and other buildings in Chalk Farm.
Because people escaping may pass right beside the glass. Insulating glass limits the temperature rise on the escape side, so people can pass it more safely.
Yes, with phasing and temporary arrangements agreed with whoever is responsible for fire safety in the building.
Yes. We survey and install in Chalk Farm and across Greater London, including the NW3 district and nearby Camden Town.
