Fire-Rated Glazed Screens
Internal glazed screens that keep compartments and corridors protected.
Learn more →From the CF31 district outwards, we arrange steel fire-rated screens for buildings across Bridgend, matching glass, frames and seals to tested evidence rather than guesswork.

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.
Whether the building is in central Bridgend or the wider CF31, CF32, CF35 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Maesteg, Tonypandy, Rhondda. Rhondda, around 19 km from Bridgend, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
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.
Where steel glazing forms an external wall, thermal performance and condensation need designing in as well as the fire rating.
Steel systems are fabricated to measure, so allow for survey, drawings, approval and fabrication before the fit date.
Building regulations are devolved in Wales, so fire safety design follows the Welsh Ministers' version of Approved Document B rather than the English one, alongside impact safety guidance for glazing.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, so the responsible person must maintain fire-resisting glazing as part of the premises' fire safety measures. The Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed this extends to the structure, external walls and flat entrance doors of multi-occupied residential buildings.
Wales is introducing its own building safety regime for occupied residential buildings, so check current Welsh requirements before planning major works to blocks of flats.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
We can phase work in Bridgend around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Every quote in Bridgend 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 Bridgend, including offices and blocks of flats.
Most steel fire screens can be powder-coated to a wide range of RAL colours, with black and anthracite the most requested.
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.
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.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
