Internal glazed screens that keep compartments and corridors protected.

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.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Eastleigh, including the SO50, SO53, SO18 districts, and in nearby Southampton, Winchester, Totton. Eastleigh is about 8 km from Southampton, the largest town in our Hampshire coverage.
Corridor subdivision doors and double-swing doors normally need vision panels so people do not collide.
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 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.
If an existing frame in a Eastleigh building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
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 Eastleigh budgets are not open-ended.
We can survey and quote for care homes, schools and colleges and other building types in Eastleigh.
Doors that subdivide corridors or swing both ways normally do, and the glass must be fire-rated to suit the door.
Yes, with phasing and temporary arrangements agreed with whoever is responsible for fire safety in the building.
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.
