Steel Fire-Rated Screens in Wigston: 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.
- Single, double and sliding door options within the system
- Fire-stopping and deflection heads
- Gridded industrial-style layouts
- Integrity and insulating glass up to EI 120 where the system allows
How we work in Wigston

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

Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Wigston building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Before you order steel fire-rated screens: what matters
Lead times
Steel systems are fabricated to measure, so allow for survey, drawings, approval and fabrication before the fit date.
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.
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.
