Fire-Rated Glazed Screens
Internal glazed screens that keep compartments and corridors protected.

Aluminium fire-rated screens are glazed walls built from aluminium profiles that have been tested with fire-resistant glass and insulating inserts. They suit offices, healthcare and education buildings that want a clean, modern frame matching the rest of the glazing.
Our Isle of Wight coverage takes in Ryde (PO33, PO34) and the neighbouring towns of Gosport, Sandown, Portsmouth. Ryde is about 10 km from Newport, the largest town in our Isle of Wight coverage.
Aluminium systems are commonly available at 30 and 60 minutes; higher ratings are less common and may point to a steel system instead.
Aluminium fire screens can be visually matched to non-rated partitions elsewhere, so a floor reads as one design while only some walls are fire-rated.
Hinges, locks and closers fitted to doors within the screen must be compatible with the door's evidence.
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.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Ryde budgets are not open-ended.
Every quote in Ryde identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
If an existing frame in a Ryde building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Sector guides below cover blocks of flats, schools and colleges and other buildings in Ryde.
Yes, when it is a system designed and tested for fire. Ordinary aluminium partitions and windows are not fire-rated, however thick the glass.
30 and 60-minute ratings are common, in integrity or insulation classes depending on the glass. We confirm availability for the sizes you need.
Survey timing in Ryde 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.
Yes. We survey and install in Ryde and across Isle of Wight, including the PO33 district and nearby Gosport.
