- Integrity and insulating glass up to EI 120 where the system allows
- Powder-coated RAL finishes
- Gridded industrial-style layouts
- Tested steel profile systems with slim sightlines

Key checks for Pitsea projects
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.
Thermal bridging on external use
Where steel glazing forms an external wall, thermal performance and condensation need designing in as well as the fire rating.
Fire glazing rules 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.

Steel Fire-Rated Screens: Pitsea questions
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.
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.
Can you price steel fire-rated screens in Pitsea from photos?
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.
How quickly can you survey in Pitsea?
Survey timing in Pitsea 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.
