Steel Fire-Rated Screens
Slim steel frames for long spans, high ratings and heavy glass.
Learn more →For Stroud buildings, we supply, replace and check fire-rated glazed screens wherever the fire strategy depends on it, working to the tested system rather than the glass alone.

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.
If an existing frame in a Stroud building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Stroud budgets are not open-ended.
Every quote in Stroud identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Test evidence covers the screen's connection to specific supporting constructions, such as masonry, concrete or a tested partition. Fixing into a lightweight wall that is not covered can undermine the rating, so we check the substrate first.
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.
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.
We cover Stroud and the surrounding postcode districts, including GL5, GL6. Nearby towns we also serve include Gloucester, Cirencester, Cheltenham. Stroud is about 13 km from Gloucester, the largest town in our Gloucestershire coverage.
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.
We can survey and quote for blocks of flats, schools and colleges and other building types in Stroud.
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.
Yes. We plan dust control, out-of-hours working and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
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.
Yes. We survey and install in Stroud and across Gloucestershire, including the GL5 district and nearby Gloucester.
