What's involved with steel fire-rated screens in Skelmersdale
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.
- Powder-coated RAL finishes
- Single, double and sliding door options within the system
- Gridded industrial-style layouts
- Integrity and insulating glass up to EI 120 where the system allows
What you can expect in Skelmersdale

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

Before you order steel fire-rated screens: what matters
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.
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.
