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.
Every quote in Ebbw Vale identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Ebbw Vale budgets are not open-ended.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in Wales, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Steel systems are fabricated to measure, so allow for survey, drawings, approval and fabrication before the fit date.
Decorative steel-look aluminium or slim steel partitions sold for offices are not automatically fire-rated. We only fit systems with test or assessment evidence for the classification you need.
Steel screens with insulating glass are heavy. Fixings are taken from the system details and the substrate is checked to carry the load.
Our Gwent coverage takes in Ebbw Vale (NP23, NP22) and the neighbouring towns of Merthyr Tydfil, Pontypool, Aberdare. Ebbw Vale is about 26 km from Newport, the largest town in our Gwent coverage.
Building regulations are devolved in Wales, so fire safety design follows the Welsh Ministers' version of Approved Document B rather than the English one, alongside impact safety guidance for glazing.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, so the responsible person must maintain fire-resisting glazing as part of the premises' fire safety measures. The Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed this extends to the structure, external walls and flat entrance doors of multi-occupied residential buildings.
Steel fire-rated screens applies to many building types in Ebbw Vale, including offices and industrial units.
Most steel fire screens can be powder-coated to a wide range of RAL colours, with black and anthracite the most requested.
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.
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.
Survey timing in Ebbw Vale 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.
