What our fire-rated glazed screens service includes in Dewsbury
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.

What every Dewsbury quote includes
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Dewsbury building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Fixed written quotes
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Dewsbury budgets are not open-ended.
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Dewsbury identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
What to check before ordering fire-rated glazed screens in Dewsbury
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.
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.
Movement and deflection
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.

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.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.

Fire-Rated Glazed Screens: Dewsbury questions
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 a fire-rated screen be fully glazed?
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.
Do you carry out fire-rated glazed screens in Dewsbury?
Yes. We survey and install in Dewsbury and across West Yorkshire, including the WF12 district and nearby Batley.
Which rules apply to fire-rated glazing in Dewsbury?
Building work in Dewsbury follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
