Fire-Rated Glazed Screens
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.
Coverage around Cramlington includes the NE23, NE22 districts and nearby Blyth, Gosforth, Ashington. Blyth, around 7 km from Cramlington, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
Corridor subdivision doors and double-swing doors normally need vision panels so people do not collide.
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.
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.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Cramlington budgets are not open-ended.
If an existing frame in a Cramlington building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.

Fire-rated escape route glazing applies to many building types in Cramlington, including blocks of flats and industrial units.
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 survey and install in Cramlington and across Northumberland, including the NE23 district and nearby Blyth.
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.
