- Powder-coated RAL finishes
- Integrity and insulating glass up to EI 120 where the system allows
- Tested steel profile systems with slim sightlines
Before you order steel fire-rated screens: what matters
Not every steel look is fire-rated
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.
Lead times
Steel systems are fabricated to measure, so allow for survey, drawings, approval and fabrication before the fit date.
Finishes and the rating
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.
