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

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.

  • Integrity and insulating glass up to EI 120 where the system allows
  • Gridded industrial-style layouts
  • Fire-stopping and deflection heads
  • Powder-coated RAL finishes

Key checks for Wednesfield 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.

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.
