What's involved with steel fire-rated screens in Bordon

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.

  • Tested steel profile systems with slim sightlines
  • Powder-coated RAL finishes
  • Integrity and insulating glass up to EI 120 where the system allows
  • Single, double and sliding door options within the system

Key checks for Bordon projects

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.

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.

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.

Which rules apply to steel fire-rated screens in Bordon?

England Which rules apply?

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.

Can steel fire screens include doors?

Yes. Single, double and in some systems sliding doors can be built into the screen, provided the combination is covered by the evidence.

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.

Do you work on occupied buildings in Bordon?

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

Yes. We survey and install in Bordon and across Hampshire, including the GU35 district and nearby Farnham.
