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

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.

  • Single, double and sliding door options within the system
  • Powder-coated RAL finishes
  • Tested steel profile systems with slim sightlines
  • Integrity and insulating glass up to EI 120 where the system allows

Before you order steel fire-rated screens: what matters

Lead times

Steel systems are fabricated to measure, so allow for survey, drawings, approval and fabrication before the fit date.

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.

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.
