What's involved with steel fire-rated screens in Catford

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.

  • Gridded industrial-style layouts
  • Tested steel profile systems with slim sightlines
  • Integrity and insulating glass up to EI 120 where the system allows
  • Fire-stopping and deflection heads

How we work in Catford

Rated systems, not just rated glass

Every quote in Catford identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.

England rules applied

Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Evidence you can file

You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.

Before you order steel fire-rated screens: what matters

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.

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.

England regulations that shape the job

England Which rules apply?

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.

FAQs for Catford

Can steel fire screens include doors?

Yes. Single, double and in some systems sliding doors can be built into the screen, provided the combination is covered by the evidence.

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.

Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.

Do you carry out steel fire-rated screens in Catford?
