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.
Steel screens with insulating glass are heavy. Fixings are taken from the system details and the substrate is checked to carry the load.
Steel systems are fabricated to measure, so allow for survey, drawings, approval and fabrication before the fit date.
Where steel glazing forms an external wall, thermal performance and condensation need designing in as well as the fire rating.
Whether the building is in central Willesden or the wider NW10, W10, NW6, NW2, W12, W3 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Cricklewood, Notting Hill, Shepherds Bush. Willesden is one of the Greater London districts we cover.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
We can phase work in Willesden around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Willesden budgets are not open-ended.
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.
We can survey and quote for schools and colleges, healthcare buildings and other building types in Willesden.
Yes. Single, double and in some systems sliding doors can be built into the screen, provided the combination is covered by the evidence.
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.
Building work in Willesden follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
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.
