Steel Fire-Rated Screens
Slim steel frames for long spans, high ratings and heavy glass.
Learn more →From the BH25 district outwards, we arrange fire-rated glazed screens for buildings across New Milton, matching glass, frames and seals to tested evidence rather than guesswork.

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.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in New Milton, including the BH25 districts, and in nearby Christchurch, Bournemouth, Hythe. Southampton, around 25 km from New Milton, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
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.
Fire glass can be combined with acoustic or security performance in many systems. We confirm the combined build-up is covered before pricing it.
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.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so New Milton budgets are not open-ended.
If an existing frame in a New Milton building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
We can phase work in New Milton around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
We can survey and quote for retail and leisure units, hotels and other building types in New Milton.
Small screens are often fitted in a day once manufactured. Larger runs depend on site access and phasing; we agree a programme with you when we quote.
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.
Yes. We survey and install in New Milton and across Hampshire, including the BH25 district and nearby Christchurch.
Survey timing in New Milton 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.
