What our steel fire-rated screens service includes in Sudbury

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.

  • Integrity and insulating glass up to EI 120 where the system allows
  • Tested steel profile systems with slim sightlines
  • Powder-coated RAL finishes

Key checks for Sudbury projects

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.

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.

Sudbury coverage and nearby towns

Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Sudbury, including the CO10 districts, and in nearby Colchester, Haverhill, Braintree. Sudbury is about 29 km from Ipswich, the largest town in our Suffolk coverage.
