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

- Fire-stopping and deflection heads
- Tested steel profile systems with slim sightlines
- Single, double and sliding door options within the system
What to check before ordering steel fire-rated screens in Whitstable
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.
Thermal bridging on external use
Where steel glazing forms an external wall, thermal performance and condensation need designing in as well as the fire rating.
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.
