What our fire-rated glazed screens service includes in Chiswick
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.
- Integrated fire doors and glazed doorsets
- Fire-stopping at head, jambs and sill to the system details
- Integrity or insulating glass to the required classification
- Steel, aluminium, timber or frameless frame systems
What to check before ordering fire-rated glazed screens in Chiswick
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.
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.
What the screen is fixed to matters
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.

Fire-Rated Glazed Screens: Chiswick questions
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.
How quickly can you survey in Chiswick?
Survey timing in Chiswick 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.
Can you price fire-rated glazed screens in Chiswick 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.
