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

Aluminium softens at a lower temperature than steel, so fire-rated aluminium systems rely on specific internal inserts, reinforcements and glazing details. We install only the tested system as a whole, in anodised or powder-coated finishes, with doors and side panels where the evidence allows.
Fire-rated aluminium profiles contain insulating and intumescent inserts that standard profiles do not. Swapping in a standard section to save cost removes the rating.
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.
Coverage around Haywards Heath includes the RH16, RH17, RH15 districts and nearby Burgess Hill, Crawley, East Grinstead. Haywards Heath is about 14 km from Crawley, the largest town in our West Sussex coverage.
We can phase work in Haywards Heath around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Every quote in Haywards Heath identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
If an existing frame in a Haywards Heath building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
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.
We can survey and quote for blocks of flats, offices and other building types in Haywards Heath.
Usually they can be matched closely in profile and colour so rated and non-rated areas look consistent.
Some systems are tested for external use. If the screen forms part of the building envelope we specify an external-rated system and glass.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
Building work in Haywards Heath follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
