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.
Whether the building is in central Droylsden or the wider M43, M18, M11, M35, OL7, SK16 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Failsworth, Denton, Ashton-under-Lyne. Droylsden is about 6 km from Manchester, the largest town in our Greater Manchester coverage.
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.
Steel screens with insulating glass are heavy. Fixings are taken from the system details and the substrate is checked to carry the load.
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.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
If an existing frame in a Droylsden building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
We can survey and quote for blocks of flats, care homes and other building types in Droylsden.
Yes. Single, double and in some systems sliding doors can be built into the screen, provided the combination is covered by the evidence.
Most steel fire screens can be powder-coated to a wide range of RAL colours, with black and anthracite the most requested.
Yes. We survey and install in Droylsden and across Greater Manchester, including the M43 district and nearby Failsworth.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
