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

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.

  • Fire-stopping and deflection heads
  • Single, double and sliding door options within the system
  • Tested steel profile systems with slim sightlines
  • Powder-coated RAL finishes

How we work in Rutherglen

Honest about unknowns

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

Scotland rules applied

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

Fixed written quotes

After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Rutherglen budgets are not open-ended.

Key checks for Rutherglen projects

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.

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.

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.

Fire glazing rules in Scotland

Scotland Which rules apply?

In Scotland, building work needs a building warrant under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with fire guidance in Section 2 of the Building Standards Technical Handbooks rather than Approved Documents.

For relevant premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 place duties on the duty holder to maintain fire safety measures, which include fire-resisting glazing.

Questions about steel fire-rated screens in Rutherglen

Are Crittall-style screens fire-rated?

Some steel systems with that look are tested for fire, many decorative ones are not. Ask for the classification and test evidence; we only quote tested systems for fire-rated positions.

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.

Yes. We survey and install in Rutherglen and across Lanarkshire, including the G73 district and nearby Cambuslang.

Which rules apply to fire-rated glazing in Rutherglen?

Rutherglen is in Scotland, so work needs a building warrant and follows the Building Standards Technical Handbooks, with the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 covering occupied premises.
