Fire-Rated Glazed Screens
Internal glazed screens that keep compartments and corridors protected.
Learn more →For Walthamstow 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.
Steel screens with insulating glass are heavy. Fixings are taken from the system details and the substrate is checked to carry the load.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Walthamstow, including the E17, E18, E11, IG8, E10, N17 districts, and in nearby Leytonstone, Tottenham, Woodford Green. Walthamstow is one of the Greater London districts we cover.

You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
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.
Sector guides below cover blocks of flats, offices and other buildings in Walthamstow.
Most steel fire screens can be powder-coated to a wide range of RAL colours, with black and anthracite the most requested.
Yes. Single, double and in some systems sliding doors can be built into the screen, provided the combination is covered by the evidence.
Building work in Walthamstow follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Survey timing in Walthamstow 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.
