Steel Fire-Rated Screens in Pontefract: 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.
- Tested steel profile systems with slim sightlines
- Powder-coated RAL finishes
- Fire-stopping and deflection heads
- Integrity and insulating glass up to EI 120 where the system allows

Key checks for Pontefract 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.
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.
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.
