What our steel fire-rated screens service includes in Edinburgh
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
- Integrity and insulating glass up to EI 120 where the system allows
- Tested steel profile systems with slim sightlines
How we work in Edinburgh
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Edinburgh identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Work around occupied buildings
We can phase work in Edinburgh around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Fixed written quotes
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Edinburgh budgets are not open-ended.
Before you order steel fire-rated screens: what 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.
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.
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.
Edinburgh coverage and nearby towns
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Edinburgh, including the EH1, EH2, EH3, EH7, EH9, EH6 districts, and in nearby Musselburgh, Kirkcaldy, Dunfermline. Edinburgh is the main town we cover in Edinburgh and the Lothians.

Fire glazing rules in Scotland
Scotland Which rules apply?
In Scotland, building work needs a building warrant under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with fire guidance in Section 2 of the Building Standards Technical Handbooks rather than Approved Documents.
For relevant premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 place duties on the duty holder to maintain fire safety measures, which include fire-resisting glazing.
Building types we cover in Edinburgh
We can survey and quote for public buildings, blocks of flats and other building types in Edinburgh.
Questions about steel fire-rated screens in Edinburgh

Yes. Single, double and in some systems sliding doors can be built into the screen, provided the combination is covered by the evidence.
What colours are available?
Most steel fire screens can be powder-coated to a wide range of RAL colours, with black and anthracite the most requested.
Which rules apply to fire-rated glazing in Edinburgh?
Edinburgh is in Scotland, so work needs a building warrant and follows the Building Standards Technical Handbooks, with the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 covering occupied premises.

We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
