Steel Fire-Rated Screens
Slim steel frames for long spans, high ratings and heavy glass.
Learn more →For Grantham 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Whether the building is in central Grantham or the wider NG31, NG32 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Newark-on-Trent, Melton Mowbray, Stamford. Lincoln, around 36 km from Grantham, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
If an existing frame in a Grantham 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 Grantham budgets are not open-ended.
Every quote in Grantham identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Sector guides below cover offices, retail and leisure units and other buildings in Grantham.
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 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 Grantham and across Lincolnshire, including the NG31 district and nearby Newark-on-Trent.
