Fire-Rated Glazed Screens
Internal glazed screens that keep compartments and corridors protected.

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 systems are fabricated to measure, so allow for survey, drawings, approval and fabrication before the fit date.
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 profiles stay slim at higher ratings and carry heavy glass without bulky frames, which suits stair cores, lobbies and offices where light matters.
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.
Coverage around Swansea includes the SA1, SA80, SA5 districts and nearby Briton Ferry, Gorseinon, Neath. Swansea is the largest town in our West Glamorgan coverage.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in Wales, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Swansea budgets are not open-ended.
Every quote in Swansea identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Sector guides below cover schools and colleges, blocks of flats and other buildings in Swansea.
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.
Most steel fire screens can be powder-coated to a wide range of RAL colours, with black and anthracite the most requested.
Swansea is in Wales, where the Welsh Approved Document B applies to building work and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 covers occupied premises.
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.
