What our steel fire-rated screens service includes in Speke

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
  • Tested steel profile systems with slim sightlines
  • Powder-coated RAL finishes
  • Gridded industrial-style layouts

What every Speke quote includes

Rated systems, not just rated glass

Every quote in Speke identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.

Honest about unknowns

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

Evidence you can file

You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.

Key checks for Speke projects

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.

Lead times

Steel systems are fabricated to measure, so allow for survey, drawings, approval and fabrication before the fit date.
