Steel Fire-Rated Screens in Worksop: 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.

  • Powder-coated RAL finishes
  • Gridded industrial-style layouts
  • Integrity and insulating glass up to EI 120 where the system allows
  • Fire-stopping and deflection heads

Key checks for Worksop projects

Lead times

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

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.

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.

Which rules apply to steel fire-rated screens in Worksop?

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: Worksop questions

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.

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.

Do you work on occupied buildings in Worksop?

Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.

Can you price steel fire-rated screens in Worksop from photos?

We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
