- Gridded industrial-style layouts
- Single, double and sliding door options within the system
- Fire-stopping and deflection heads
Before you order in Lancashire
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.
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.
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.
Regulations for Lancashire projects
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.
Steel Fire-Rated Screens in Lancashire: questions
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.
What colours are available?
Most steel fire screens can be powder-coated to a wide range of RAL colours, with black and anthracite the most requested.
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.
Do you cover all of Lancashire?
Yes. We take enquiries from across Lancashire, including Preston and Burnley, Blackburn, Blackpool, Morecambe, and arrange surveys to suit your programme.
