Fire-Rated Glazed Screens
Internal glazed screens that keep compartments and corridors protected.
Learn more →If a building in Eastleigh needs steel fire-rated screens, the starting point is the rating its fire strategy requires. We confirm that, survey the openings and quote a tested system to suit.

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.
We cover Eastleigh and the surrounding postcode districts, including SO50, SO53, SO18. Nearby towns we also serve include Southampton, Winchester, Totton. Eastleigh lies roughly 8 km from Southampton, within our Hampshire coverage.
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 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.
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.
We can phase work in Eastleigh around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Every quote in Eastleigh 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 Eastleigh, including care homes and schools and colleges.
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.
Yes. Single, double and in some systems sliding doors can be built into the screen, provided the combination is covered by the evidence.
Yes. We survey and install in Eastleigh and across Hampshire, including the SO50 district and nearby Southampton.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
