How we work in Dumfries
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Dumfries building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Dumfries identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Work around occupied buildings
We can phase work in Dumfries around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
What to check before ordering steel fire-rated screens in Dumfries
Lead times
Steel systems are fabricated to measure, so allow for survey, drawings, approval and fabrication before the fit date.
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.
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.
