Non Fire & Fire Rated Screens
Door & Joinery Solutions Ltd are proud to manufacture and supply an extensive range of high-quality fire screens, engineered to meet the diverse needs of both commercial and residential applications. Our commitment to innovation, safety, and quality ensures that each fire screen we produce is not only a barrier against fire but also an enhancement to the aesthetics of any environment.
What is a fire screen?
A fire screen is an integral component of modern fire safety architecture, designed to act as a barrier against the spread of fire and smoke within a building. They are usually installed in strategic locations, such as corridors, stairwells, and between different sections of a building and play a critical role in maintaining the integrity of escape routes. This ensures that these paths remain navigable and free from the dangers of smoke and flames during a fire, providing occupants with the vital time needed to evacuate safely.
Constructed from materials capable of withstanding extreme temperatures, fire screens often incorporate fire-resistant glass that is supported by robust frames made of metal or specially treated wood. The materials are selected for their durability and ability to endure a fire's intense heat without losing structural integrity. The glass used in these screens is not ordinary glass but is made to resist shattering under thermal stress, thereby maintaining a barrier that can hold back fire and smoke effectively.
The dual primary purposes of a fire screen are protection and containment. By blocking the passage of smoke and flames, fire rated screens protect the escape routes and critical areas of a building, safeguarding the lives of the occupants. Additionally, they serve to contain the fire within a limited area, significantly reducing the potential damage to the rest of the building and its contents. This containment not only limits the physical damage caused by the fire but can also substantially reduce the financial impact of property loss and subsequent insurance claims.
Additionally, the strategic placement of fire screens can help to control the overall airflow within a structure during a fire, slowing the spread of fire by reducing the amount of oxygen available to fuel it. This can be crucial in delaying the fire's progression until emergency services can respond.

Customisation and compliance
At Door & Joinery Solutions, we recognise that no two buildings are alike, and each has its unique set of challenges and requirements when it comes to fire safety. This drives our commitment to providing bespoke fire screen solutions, designed and engineered to meet the specific needs of each client's architectural and safety requirements.
Tailor-made fire safety solutions
Our customisation process begins with a thorough assessment of your premises to understand the specific demands of the space. Whether it's a modern commercial high-rise, a historic building, or a residential complex, each structure presents unique challenges that require tailored solutions. Our team works closely with architects, builders, and property owners to design fire-rated partitions that fit perfectly within the designated spaces but also complement the aesthetic and functional aspects.
Advanced design and engineering
Using advanced CAD software and 3D modelling, our engineers can create precise and detailed designs that allow for adjustments and refinements in real-time, ensuring that the final product is exactly as required. This level of detail helps anticipate and solve potential challenges before the manufacturing process begins, leading to better outcomes and greater efficiency.
Peace of mind through certification
Every custom fire screen we produce is subjected to rigorous testing to ensure it performs under the conditions for which it is designed. This testing includes exposure to high temperatures and conditions mimicking those of a real fire. Successfully passing these tests results in certifications that attest to the quality and reliability of our screens, providing clients with additional assurance and peace of mind.
Our approach to customisation and compliance means that every client receives a fire safety solution that is not only bespoke and visually integrated into their property but also robust, compliant, and ready to perform when needed most. This meticulous attention to detail and commitment to safety make Door & Joinery Solutions a trusted name in fire protection solutions.
Embracing aesthetic flexibility
We believe that fire safety solutions should be functional and enhance the aesthetic value of the spaces they protect. Our glazed fire screens are designed with both safety and style in mind, offering a range of aesthetic options that allow for integration into any building's décor without compromising on protection.
Our fire rated screens are designed to be as visually appealing as they are effective in preventing the spread of fire and smoke. Understanding that the visual aspect of fire safety installations is important to many of our clients, we offer a variety of finishes and styles. This range ensures that whether the setting is a modern office or a traditional, heritage-listed building, there is an appropriate and attractive fire screen solution available.
Customisation with high-quality woods
A significant part of our aesthetic flexibility is our use of various high-quality woods, which can be tailored to match any interior design scheme. We offer fire rated partitions framed in premium woods such as ash, beech, cherry, maple, oak, and walnut. Each wood type brings its unique grain, colour, and texture, providing numerous options for customisation.
With its light colour and smooth grain, Ash is perfect for achieving a bright, modern look. Beech provides a subtle elegance with its fine grain and pale colour, making it versatile enough for both contemporary and traditional interiors. For a touch of sophistication, cherry is ideal, cherished for its rich, warm hues. Being light with a fine, uniform texture, Maple is excellent for creating a clean and inviting atmosphere. Oak adds character and strength to any space, and walnut is renowned for its deep, dark tones, which offer a luxurious option that brings a striking visual impact to the setting.
Enhancing overall building aesthetics
Our commitment to aesthetic flexibility means that each fire screen not only performs a crucial safety function but also contributes to the overall appeal of the building. By offering such a wide range of customisable options, we ensure that essential safety features can be prominent yet harmonious elements of a building's design, enhancing rather than detracting from the environment.
The aesthetic flexibility of our fire screens allows architects, designers, and property owners to uphold safety standards while fulfilling their vision for their spaces. By integrating high-quality materials, expert craftsmanship, and bespoke designs, we ensure that our glazed fire screens meet the highest standards of both safety and style, making them a preferred choice for those who value both functionality and aesthetics in fire protection solutions.
