Fire-Rated Glazed Screens
Internal glazed screens that keep compartments and corridors protected.
Learn more →For Pimlico 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.
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.
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 cover Pimlico and the surrounding postcode districts, including SW1, SW8, SW1A, W1M, SW1X, SE11. Nearby towns we also serve include Westminster, Battersea, Chelsea. Pimlico is one of the Greater London districts we cover.
If an existing frame in a Pimlico 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 Pimlico budgets are not open-ended.
We can phase work in Pimlico around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
We can survey and quote for offices, student accommodation and other building types in Pimlico.
Yes. Single, double and in some systems sliding doors can be built into the screen, provided the combination is covered by the evidence.
Most steel fire screens can be powder-coated to a wide range of RAL colours, with black and anthracite the most requested.
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.
Building work in Pimlico follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
