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

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
  • Fire-stopping and deflection heads
  • Integrity and insulating glass up to EI 120 where the system allows

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

Lead times

Steel systems are fabricated to measure, so allow for survey, drawings, approval and fabrication before the fit date.

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.

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.
