Steel Fire-Rated Screens in Sunderland: 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
- Gridded industrial-style layouts
- Fire-stopping and deflection heads
- Tested steel profile systems with slim sightlines
Key checks for Sunderland 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.
Lead times
Steel systems are fabricated to measure, so allow for survey, drawings, approval and fabrication before the fit date.
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.
England regulations that shape the job
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.

Steel Fire-Rated Screens: Sunderland 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 Sunderland?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
Do you carry out steel fire-rated screens in Sunderland?
Yes. We survey and install in Sunderland and across Tyne and Wear, including the SR1 district and nearby Seaham.
