Fire-Rated Glazed Screens
Internal glazed screens that keep compartments and corridors protected.
Learn more →We provide steel fire-rated screens in Sandhurst and across Berkshire, working from the classification your building needs and handing over the evidence that proves what was fitted.

Steel fire-rated screens use steel frame sections to hold fire-resistant glass, and they are the usual choice when a project needs slim sightlines with a high rating, large panes or heavy insulating glass. Steel keeps its strength well in fire and can carry the weight of thick EI glass over long spans.
Steel systems are fabricated to measure, so allow for survey, drawings, approval and fabrication before the fit date.
Decorative steel-look aluminium or slim steel partitions sold for offices are not automatically fire-rated. We only fit systems with test or assessment evidence for the classification you need.
Steel screens with insulating glass are heavy. Fixings are taken from the system details and the substrate is checked to carry the load.
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.
Coverage around Sandhurst includes the GU47, RG45, GU17, GU46, GU15 districts and nearby Crowthorne, Yateley, Camberley. Reading, around 18 km from Sandhurst, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Every quote in Sandhurst identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
We can survey and quote for care homes, blocks of flats and other building types in Sandhurst.
Yes. Single, double and in some systems sliding doors can be built into the screen, provided the combination is covered by the evidence.
Some steel systems with that look are tested for fire, many decorative ones are not. Ask for the classification and test evidence; we only quote tested systems for fire-rated positions.
Building work in Sandhurst follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
