Steel Fire-Rated Screens in Barnstaple: 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.
- Fire-stopping and deflection heads
- Single, double and sliding door options within the system
- Gridded industrial-style layouts
- Powder-coated RAL finishes
