Steel Fire-Rated Screens in Hereford: 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.

  • Integrity and insulating glass up to EI 120 where the system allows
  • Single, double and sliding door options within the system
  • Tested steel profile systems with slim sightlines
  • Fire-stopping and deflection heads

What you can expect in Hereford

Honest about unknowns

If an existing frame in a Hereford building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.

England rules applied

Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Evidence you can file

You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.

What to check before ordering steel fire-rated screens in Hereford

Not every steel look is fire-rated

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.

Lead times

Steel systems are fabricated to measure, so allow for survey, drawings, approval and fabrication before the fit date.

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.

Fire glazing rules in England

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.

In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.
