What to check before ordering fire-rated glazed screens in Thornaby-on-Tees
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.
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.
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.
