Fire-Rated Glazed Screens
Internal glazed screens that keep compartments and corridors protected.
Learn more →We provide steel fire-rated screens in Peterlee and across County Durham, 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.
Where steel glazing forms an external wall, thermal performance and condensation need designing in as well as the fire rating.
Steel profiles stay slim at higher ratings and carry heavy glass without bulky frames, which suits stair cores, lobbies and offices where light matters.
Whether the building is in central Peterlee or the wider SR8, TS28 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Seaham, Hartlepool, Houghton-le-Spring. Darlington, around 30 km from Peterlee, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
If an existing frame in a Peterlee 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 Peterlee budgets are not open-ended.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
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.
We can survey and quote for hotels, schools and colleges and other building types in Peterlee.
Often slightly, especially at higher ratings, but steel can be the more economical route when panes are large or the rating is EI 60 and above.
Most steel fire screens can be powder-coated to a wide range of RAL colours, with black and anthracite the most requested.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work 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.
