Steel Fire-Rated Screens in Consett: what's included

We supply and install tested steel screen systems in black, RAL colours and industrial finishes, including the gridded warehouse look, with integrated single and double doors. Each screen is drawn up within its system evidence so the appearance does not come at the cost of the rating.

  • Tested steel profile systems with slim sightlines
  • Gridded industrial-style layouts
  • Fire-stopping and deflection heads
  • Powder-coated RAL finishes

Key checks for Consett projects

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.

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.

Consett coverage and nearby towns

Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Consett, including the DH8 districts, and in nearby Stanley, Newburn, Chester-le-Street. Consett is about 41 km from Darlington, the largest town in our County Durham coverage.

What every Consett quote includes

Rated systems, not just rated glass

Every quote in Consett identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.

Honest about unknowns

If an existing frame in a Consett building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.

Fixed written quotes

After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Consett budgets are not open-ended.

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.

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
