Fire-Rated Glazed Screens in Felling: 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
- Fire-stopping at head, jambs and sill to the system details
- Integrated fire doors and glazed doorsets
- Handover evidence pack
How we work in Felling
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Felling identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Felling building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Work around occupied buildings
We can phase work in Felling around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Before you order fire-rated glazed screens: what matters
What the screen is fixed to matters
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.
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.
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.
Felling coverage and nearby towns
Whether the building is in central Felling or the wider NE10, NE8, NE9, NE6, NE1, NE2 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne, Hebburn. Felling lies roughly 4 km from Newcastle upon Tyne, within our Tyne and Wear coverage.

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.
