What's involved with steel fire-rated screens in Jarrow

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.

  • Tested steel profile systems with slim sightlines
  • Integrity and insulating glass up to EI 120 where the system allows
  • Single, double and sliding door options within the system
  • Powder-coated RAL finishes

Key checks for Jarrow projects

Thermal bridging on external use

Where steel glazing forms an external wall, thermal performance and condensation need designing in as well as the fire rating.

Lead times

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

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.

Fire glazing rules in England

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.
