What our steel fire-rated screens service includes in Rayleigh
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
- Integrity and insulating glass up to EI 120 where the system allows
- Fire-stopping and deflection heads

Before you order steel fire-rated screens: what matters
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.
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.
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.
Which rules apply to steel fire-rated screens in Rayleigh?
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.

FAQs for Rayleigh
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.
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.
How quickly can you survey in Rayleigh?
Survey timing in Rayleigh 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.
Do you carry out steel fire-rated screens in Rayleigh?
Yes. We survey and install in Rayleigh and across Essex, including the SS6 district and nearby South Benfleet.
