Fire-Rated Glazed Screens in Ashton-in-Makerfield: 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.
- Survey and setting-out against the fire strategy drawings
- Integrity or insulating glass to the required classification
- Handover evidence pack
- Fire-stopping at head, jambs and sill to the system details
What to check before ordering fire-rated glazed screens in Ashton-in-Makerfield
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.
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.
Fire glazing rules in England
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.

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 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.
Which rules apply to fire-rated glazing in Ashton-in-Makerfield?
Building work in Ashton-in-Makerfield follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
How quickly can you survey in Ashton-in-Makerfield?
