Fire-rated steel screens in Edinburgh and the Lothians
Every fire-rated steel screen we fit in Edinburgh and the Lothians starts with a free survey at the property, whether that is in Musselburgh, Edinburgh or a village nearby.
Fitting fire-rated steel screens in Edinburgh and the Lothians
Edinburgh's Georgian New Town and Victorian tenements have tall ceilings and deep plans that suit full-height internal steel screens; listed status is common.
Safety glass is standard in every internal pane, and we check whether fire-rated glazing is needed before anything is ordered. Because each frame is drawn from your measurements, the fire-rated steel screen fits the opening you have, not a stock size.
We cover Edinburgh, Leith, Musselburgh and Linlithgow, plus the villages and towns between them. Lead time is 6–10 weeks depending on system, and we confirm dates in writing when you sign off the drawings.
What we can include
- Coordination with building control and fire engineers
- Residential protected stairs and commercial corridors
- Complete tested systems: frame, glass, seals and fixings
- Manufacturer evidence of performance supplied with quote
A fire-rated steel screen is a glazed steel partition designed to resist the spread of fire and, depending on its rating, heat for a set period such as 30 or 60 minutes. Read the full guide to fire-rated steel screens.

Fire-rated steel screens in Edinburgh and the Lothians: questions
When do I need a fire-rated glazed screen?
When the screen forms part of a protected escape route or a fire-separating wall, such as the stair enclosure in many three-storey houses or a commercial corridor. Your building control body or fire engineer confirms the rating needed.
Can you put fire glass into my existing screen?
No. Fire performance comes from the tested system as a whole, so the frame, glass, seals and fixings must all match the tested assembly.
Are prices higher in Edinburgh and the Lothians?
Our guide prices are the same nationally. The fixed price for your job depends on its size and specification, plus any site factors such as access or parking, which we note at survey.
