What to check before ordering steel fire-rated screens in North Shields
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.
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.
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.
