What our steel fire-rated screens service includes in Rochdale
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
- Single, double and sliding door options within the system
- Powder-coated RAL finishes
- Tested steel profile systems with slim sightlines

Where steel glazing forms an external wall, thermal performance and condensation need designing in as well as the fire rating.
Lead times
Steel systems are fabricated to measure, so allow for survey, drawings, approval and fabrication before the fit date.
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.
