We supply and install tested steel screen systems in black, RAL colours and industrial finishes, including the gridded warehouse look, with integrated single and double doors. Each screen is drawn up within its system evidence so the appearance does not come at the cost of the rating.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Every quote in Worthing identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
We can phase work in Worthing around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Steel systems are fabricated to measure, so allow for survey, drawings, approval and fabrication before the fit date.
Steel screens with insulating glass are heavy. Fixings are taken from the system details and the substrate is checked to carry the load.
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.
Whether the building is in central Worthing or the wider BN11, BN14, BN15, BN12, BN13 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Portslade, Littlehampton, Hove. Worthing lies roughly 35 km from Crawley, within our West Sussex coverage.
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.
Steel fire-rated screens applies to many building types in Worthing, including care homes and offices.
Some steel systems with that look are tested for fire, many decorative ones are not. Ask for the classification and test evidence; we only quote tested systems for fire-rated positions.
Yes. Single, double and in some systems sliding doors can be built into the screen, provided the combination is covered by the evidence.
Building work in Worthing follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
