Steel Fire-Rated Screens in Ruislip: what's included

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.

  • Integrity and insulating glass up to EI 120 where the system allows
  • Single, double and sliding door options within the system
  • Powder-coated RAL finishes
  • Fire-stopping and deflection heads

What you can expect in Ruislip

Evidence you can file

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

England rules applied

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

What to check before ordering steel fire-rated screens in Ruislip

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.

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.

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.

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