Fire-Rated Glazed Screens: what you get in Buckinghamshire
A fire-rated glazed screen is an internal wall made largely of glass that forms part of a fire-resisting construction, such as a corridor wall, a stair enclosure or a compartment wall. It lets daylight and sightlines through while holding back fire for the period the fire strategy requires.
- Integrity or insulating glass to the required classification
- Fire-stopping at head, jambs and sill to the system details
- Steel, aluminium, timber or frameless frame systems
What to check before ordering in Buckinghamshire
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.
Acoustic and security needs
Fire glass can be combined with acoustic or security performance in many systems. We confirm the combined build-up is covered before pricing it.
Integrity-only screens on escape routes
Building guidance limits where integrity-only glazing can sit on protected escape routes, and in some positions restricts it to above a set height from the floor. Insulating screens are not restricted in the same way, so the route plan often decides the glass.
England rules for fire glazing
England Which rules apply?
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.

Questions from Buckinghamshire clients
Can you add a screen to an occupied building?
Yes. We plan dust control, out-of-hours working and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
How large can a fire-rated glazed screen be?
It depends on the system's evidence. Most systems state maximum pane sizes and overall heights; very tall or wide screens may need an assessment from a test body. We confirm the limits during design.
How long does installation take?
Small screens are often fitted in a day once manufactured. Larger runs depend on site access and phasing; we agree a programme with you when we quote.
Do you cover all of Buckinghamshire?
Yes. We take enquiries from across Buckinghamshire, including Milton Keynes and High Wycombe, Aylesbury, Bletchley, Amersham, and arrange surveys to suit your programme.
