What our fire-rated glazed screens service includes in Sandhurst
We design, supply and install fire-rated screens in steel, aluminium, timber and frameless formats, working from the rating and positions on your fire strategy. Every screen is built within the limits of its test or assessment evidence: pane sizes, transom and mullion spacing, glass type and the way it is fixed to the surrounding structure.

What every Sandhurst quote includes
Fixed written quotes
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Sandhurst budgets are not open-ended.
Work around occupied buildings
We can phase work in Sandhurst around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Sandhurst building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
What to check before ordering fire-rated glazed screens in Sandhurst
Movement and deflection
Long screens under slabs need deflection heads so floor movement does not crack the glass or open gaps. The head detail has to come from the same evidence as the rest of the screen.
Building control
New screens, and changes to existing fire-resisting walls, are normally building work. We provide the product evidence your building control body or approved inspector will ask for.
Doors inside a screen
A door in a glazed screen has to be tested in that configuration or covered by a doorset certificate and an assessment for the screen. We specify the door and screen as one system rather than mixing products.

Fire-Rated Glazed Screens: Sandhurst questions
Do fire-rated screens need maintenance?
They need periodic checks for damaged glass, missing beads, failed seals and unauthorised changes such as new cable holes. We can carry out these checks as part of a survey.
Can a fire-rated screen be fully glazed?
Yes. Many screens are glazed from floor to ceiling, subject to the classification needed on that route and any impact safety requirements at low level.
Can you price fire-rated glazed screens in Sandhurst from photos?
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.
How quickly can you survey in Sandhurst?
Survey timing in Sandhurst 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.
