Our commitment to providing high-quality products ensures that our fire screens not only protect against fire hazards but also enhance the design and functionality of your spaces. Whether you're a business owner, a member of a senior management team, or a homeowner, choosing the right fire safety solutions is critical. With our expertly engineered FD30 and FD60 glazed fire screens, we offer unparalleled protection without compromising on style or durability.

What is a Fire Rated Glazed Screen?

A fire rated glazed screen is a specialised architectural feature designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke while providing visibility and allowing light to pass through. These screens are made using fire-resistant glass and frames, engineered to withstand high temperatures for a specified period, thereby creating a barrier against the fire. This dual function of providing transparency and safety makes them ideal for various environments, from commercial buildings to residential properties.

Fire rated glass partitions are integral to modern building designs, particularly in spaces where both safety and openness are paramount. Unlike traditional fire doors or solid walls, these glazed screens maintain an open, airy feel in a building while ensuring compliance with fire safety regulations. By incorporating these screens into your property, you're not only safeguarding the occupants but also enhancing the building's overall aesthetic.

Understanding FD30 and FD60 Ratings

When it comes to fire rated glazed screens, the terms FD30 and FD60 refer to the duration the screen can withstand fire exposure. FD30 screens are designed to resist fire for a minimum of 30 minutes, while FD60 screens offer protection for at least 60 minutes. These ratings are crucial in determining where each type of screen should be used.

FD30 screens are typically installed in areas where evacuation is expected to be relatively quick, such as residential settings, small offices, and corridors leading to emergency exits. In contrast, FD60 screens are more suitable for high-risk areas or larger commercial spaces, where the potential for fire spread is greater, and longer evacuation times may be required. For example, FD60 screens are often found in hospitals, schools, and multi-storey office buildings.

Selecting the right fire rated screen depends on the specific needs of your building. Door & Joinery offers bespoke solutions, ensuring that each screen we provide is tailored to meet the exact specifications and fire safety requirements of your project.

Custom-Made for Every Architectural Style

Door & Joinery understands that every building is unique, with its own architectural style and design requirements. This is why our fire rated glazed screens are custom-made to fit all shapes, sizes, and aesthetic preferences. Whether your building features a modern minimalist design, a traditional Georgian style, or a contemporary industrial look, we can craft fire screens that complement and enhance the architectural integrity of your space.

Our screens are designed to integrate into a variety of environments, from sleek, modern office spaces to historic buildings where maintaining the original style is paramount. We offer a range of finishes and materials, allowing you to choose a screen that not only meets safety standards but also aligns with your design vision. Whether you're looking to match existing woodwork or create a bold contrast, our team is equipped to deliver a solution that fits perfectly with your building's architecture.

Types of Fire Rated Glass Partitions We Offer

Prefinished Fire Rated Glass Screens: Prefinished screens come ready to install, with no additional painting or finishing required. These screens are ideal for projects with tight deadlines, where time is of the essence. They are available in a range of colours and finishes, allowing for quick and easy integration into your existing decor. Prefinished screens are particularly popular in commercial settings, such as office buildings and retail spaces, where consistency in appearance and durability is crucial. The high-quality finish not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also provides a robust, long-lasting barrier against fire hazards.

Primed Fire Rated Glass Screens: For those who prefer a customised finish, our primed fire rated glazed screens offer the perfect solution. These screens are pre-primed, allowing you to apply the final coat of paint or finish that best suits your interior design. This flexibility makes primed screens a popular choice in both residential and commercial projects where the end-user wants to have control over the final appearance. Primed screens are also ideal for renovation projects, where the new fire screens need to match or complement existing finishes. This option provides a balance between customisation and convenience, ensuring that the final product perfectly matches your design intent.

Unfinished Fire Rated Glazed Screens: Our unfinished fire rated glass screens provide the ultimate in customisation. These screens are supplied ready for finishing, giving you complete freedom to choose the exact look and feel you desire. Unfinished screens are often chosen by architects and designers who want to match the fire screen to other bespoke elements within the space. Whether it's a unique wood stain or a specific paint colour, unfinished screens allow for maximum creativity in achieving the desired aesthetic. These screens are commonly used in high-end residential projects, boutique hotels, and custom commercial spaces, where the interior design is a critical component of the overall experience.
