What our fire-rated glazed screens service includes in Atherton
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.
- Steel, aluminium, timber or frameless frame systems
- Integrity or insulating glass to the required classification
- Integrated fire doors and glazed doorsets
- Fire-stopping at head, jambs and sill to the system details
What to check before ordering fire-rated glazed screens in Atherton
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.
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.
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.
England regulations that shape the job
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.

Questions about fire-rated glazed screens in Atherton
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 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.
Can you price fire-rated glazed screens in Atherton 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.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Atherton?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
