What's involved with steel fire-rated screens in Basingstoke
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
- Integrity and insulating glass up to EI 120 where the system allows
- Fire-stopping and deflection heads
- Tested steel profile systems with slim sightlines
