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

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
  • Single, double and sliding door options within the system
  • Integrity and insulating glass up to EI 120 where the system allows
