What our steel fire-rated screens service includes in Dorset
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.
- Tested steel profile systems with slim sightlines
- Powder-coated RAL finishes
- Single, double and sliding door options within the system
Key checks for Dorset projects
Lead times
Steel systems are fabricated to measure, so allow for survey, drawings, approval and fabrication before the fit date.
Weight and fixing
Steel screens with insulating glass are heavy. Fixings are taken from the system details and the substrate is checked to carry the load.
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.
Which rules apply in England?
England Which rules apply?
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.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.
