Fire-Rated Glazed Screens
Internal glazed screens that keep compartments and corridors protected.
Learn more →For Camden Town 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.
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 profiles stay slim at higher ratings and carry heavy glass without bulky frames, which suits stair cores, lobbies and offices where light matters.
Where steel glazing forms an external wall, thermal performance and condensation need designing in as well as the fire rating.
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.
Our Greater London coverage takes in Camden Town (NW1, NW1W, NW26, NW5, NW3, N7) and the neighbouring towns of Chalk Farm, Holloway, Islington. Camden Town sits within our Greater London coverage, alongside Chalk Farm.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

We can survey and quote for blocks of flats, public buildings and other building types in Camden Town.
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.
Survey timing in Camden Town 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.
