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.
We can phase work in Sutton-in-Ashfield around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Sutton-in-Ashfield budgets are not open-ended.
If an existing frame in a Sutton-in-Ashfield building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
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.
Where steel glazing forms an external wall, thermal performance and condensation need designing in as well as the fire 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.
