  • Gridded industrial-style layouts

What to check before ordering steel fire-rated screens in Derby

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.

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.

Lead times

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

Steel Fire-Rated Screens: Derby questions

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.

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.

How quickly can you survey in Derby?

Survey timing in Derby depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.

Do you work on occupied buildings in Derby?

Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
