Steel Fire-Rated Screens: an overview for County Antrim
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.
- Integrity and insulating glass up to EI 120 where the system allows
- Tested steel profile systems with slim sightlines
- Fire-stopping and deflection heads
Before you order in County Antrim
Weight and fixing
Steel screens with insulating glass are heavy. Fixings are taken from the system details and the substrate is checked to carry the load.
Why choose steel
Steel profiles stay slim at higher ratings and carry heavy glass without bulky frames, which suits stair cores, lobbies and offices where light matters.
Thermal bridging on external use
Where steel glazing forms an external wall, thermal performance and condensation need designing in as well as the fire rating.

Steel Fire-Rated Screens in County Antrim: questions
Can steel fire screens include doors?
Yes. Single, double and in some systems sliding doors can be built into the screen, provided the combination is covered by the evidence.
Are steel screens more expensive than aluminium?
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.
Are Crittall-style screens fire-rated?
Some steel systems with that look are tested for fire, many decorative ones are not. Ask for the classification and test evidence; we only quote tested systems for fire-rated positions.
Do you cover all of County Antrim?
Yes. We take enquiries from across County Antrim, including Belfast and Lisburn, Newtownabbey, Carrickfergus, Ballymena, and arrange surveys to suit your programme.
