Fire-Rated Glazed Screens
Internal glazed screens that keep compartments and corridors protected.
Learn more →If a building in Bearsden needs steel fire-rated screens, the starting point is the rating its fire strategy requires. We confirm that, survey the openings and quote a tested system to suit.

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.
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.
Steel profiles stay slim at higher ratings and carry heavy glass without bulky frames, which suits stair cores, lobbies and offices where light matters.
Our Dunbartonshire coverage takes in Bearsden (G61, G15, G13, G62, G23, G20) and the neighbouring towns of Clydebank, Renfrew, Bishopbriggs. Bearsden is the largest town in our Dunbartonshire coverage.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Bearsden budgets are not open-ended.
Every quote in Bearsden identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
In Scotland, building work needs a building warrant under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with fire guidance in Section 2 of the Building Standards Technical Handbooks rather than Approved Documents.
For relevant premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 place duties on the duty holder to maintain fire safety measures, which include fire-resisting glazing.
Sector guides below cover blocks of flats, offices and other buildings in Bearsden.
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.
Yes. Single, double and in some systems sliding doors can be built into the screen, provided the combination is covered by the evidence.
Yes. We survey and install in Bearsden and across Dunbartonshire, including the G61 district and nearby Clydebank.
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.
