Steel Fire-Rated Screens in Guildford: 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
  • Powder-coated RAL finishes
  • Tested steel profile systems with slim sightlines

Key checks for Guildford projects

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.

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.
