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 Haywards Heath includes the RH16, RH17, RH15 districts and nearby Burgess Hill, Crawley, East Grinstead. Haywards Heath lies roughly 14 km from Crawley, within our West Sussex coverage.
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.
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.
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.
