Fire-Rated Glazed Screens in Bideford: what's included
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.
- Handover evidence pack
- Integrated fire doors and glazed doorsets
- Integrity or insulating glass to the required classification
- Survey and setting-out against the fire strategy drawings
Key checks for Bideford projects
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.
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.
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.

Questions about fire-rated glazed screens in Bideford
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.
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.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Bideford?

Can you price fire-rated glazed screens in Bideford 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.
