Fire-Rated Glazed Screens
Internal glazed screens that keep compartments and corridors protected.
Learn more →For Finchley buildings, we supply, replace and check fire-rated escape route glazing wherever the fire strategy depends on it, working to the tested system rather than the glass alone.

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.
Doors on escape routes usually need smoke seals as well as fire resistance, so the smoke-control classification matters too.
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 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.
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.

Every quote in Finchley identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
If an existing frame in a Finchley building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
We can survey and quote for offices, healthcare buildings and other building types in Finchley.
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.
Survey timing in Finchley depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
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.
