Honest about unknowns

If an existing frame in a Grays building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.

Rated systems, not just rated glass

Every quote in Grays identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.

Before you order steel fire-rated screens: what matters

Lead times

Steel systems are fabricated to measure, so allow for survey, drawings, approval and fabrication before the fit date.

Weight and fixing

Steel screens with insulating glass are heavy. Fixings are taken from the system details and the substrate is checked to carry the load.

Why choose steel

Steel profiles stay slim at higher ratings and carry heavy glass without bulky frames, which suits stair cores, lobbies and offices where light matters.

Which rules apply to steel fire-rated screens in Grays?

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.
