Fire-Rated Glazed Screens
Internal glazed screens that keep compartments and corridors protected.
Learn more →For Stanford-le-Hope buildings, we supply, replace and check steel fire-rated screens wherever the fire strategy depends on it, working to the tested system rather than the glass alone.

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 profiles stay slim at higher ratings and carry heavy glass without bulky frames, which suits stair cores, lobbies and offices where light matters.
Paint and powder coat are normally covered by the evidence, but intumescent strips and seals must not be painted over. We protect them during finishing.
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 Stanford-le-Hope includes the SS17, SS16 districts and nearby Basildon, Pitsea, Grays. Stanford-le-Hope lies roughly 19 km from Southend-on-Sea, within our Essex coverage.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Stanford-le-Hope budgets are not open-ended.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Every quote in Stanford-le-Hope identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Steel fire-rated screens applies to many building types in Stanford-le-Hope, including care homes and offices.
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.
Survey timing in Stanford-le-Hope depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
Building work in Stanford-le-Hope follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
