Fire-Rated Glazed Screens
Internal glazed screens that keep compartments and corridors protected.
Learn more →For Crawley 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.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Every quote in Crawley identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
If an existing frame in a Crawley building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
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.
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.
Whether the building is in central Crawley or the wider RH11, RH10 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Horley, Horsham, East Grinstead. Crawley is the main town we cover in West Sussex.
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 retail and leisure units, care homes and other building types in Crawley.
Yes. Single, double and in some systems sliding doors can be built into the screen, provided the combination is covered by the evidence.
Most steel fire screens can be powder-coated to a wide range of RAL colours, with black and anthracite the most requested.
Survey timing in Crawley 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.
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.
