Fire-Rated Glazed Screens
Internal glazed screens that keep compartments and corridors protected.
Learn more →From the GU1 district outwards, we arrange steel fire-rated screens for buildings across Guildford, 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.
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 screens with insulating glass are heavy. Fixings are taken from the system details and the substrate is checked to carry the load.
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.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Guildford, including the GU1, GU2, GU4 districts, and in nearby Godalming, Woking, Aldershot. Woking, around 9 km from Guildford, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
Every quote in Guildford identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
We can phase work in Guildford around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
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 can survey and quote for offices, schools and colleges and other building types in Guildford.
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 Guildford and across Surrey, including the GU1 district and nearby Godalming.
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.
