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

We supply and install tested steel screen systems in black, RAL colours and industrial finishes, including the gridded warehouse look, with integrated single and double doors. Each screen is drawn up within its system evidence so the appearance does not come at the cost of the rating.

  • Gridded industrial-style layouts
  • Integrity and insulating glass up to EI 120 where the system allows
  • Tested steel profile systems with slim sightlines
  • Single, double and sliding door options within the system

Before you order steel fire-rated screens: what matters

Why choose steel

Steel profiles stay slim at higher ratings and carry heavy glass without bulky frames, which suits stair cores, lobbies and offices where light matters.

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.

Steel Fire-Rated Screens: Wigan questions

What colours are available?

Most steel fire screens can be powder-coated to a wide range of RAL colours, with black and anthracite the most requested.

Are steel screens more expensive than aluminium?

Often slightly, especially at higher ratings, but steel can be the more economical route when panes are large or the rating is EI 60 and above.

How quickly can you survey in Wigan?

Survey timing in Wigan depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.

Do you work on occupied buildings in Wigan?

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