How we work in Ayr
Fixed written quotes
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Ayr budgets are not open-ended.
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Ayr building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Ayr identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
What to check before ordering aluminium fire-rated screens in Ayr
Door hardware
Hinges, locks and closers fitted to doors within the screen must be compatible with the door's evidence.
Inserts make the rating
Fire-rated aluminium profiles contain insulating and intumescent inserts that standard profiles do not. Swapping in a standard section to save cost removes the rating.
Ratings available
Aluminium systems are commonly available at 30 and 60 minutes; higher ratings are less common and may point to a steel system instead.

Fire glazing rules in Scotland
Scotland Which rules apply?

For relevant premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 place duties on the duty holder to maintain fire safety measures, which include fire-resisting glazing.
Ayr building types
Aluminium fire-rated screens applies to many building types in Ayr, including blocks of flats and retail and leisure units.
Aluminium Fire-Rated Screens: Ayr questions
Is aluminium suitable for fire-rated glazing?
Yes, when it is a system designed and tested for fire. Ordinary aluminium partitions and windows are not fire-rated, however thick the glass.
Can aluminium fire screens be used outside?
Some systems are tested for external use. If the screen forms part of the building envelope we specify an external-rated system and glass.
Do you carry out aluminium fire-rated screens in Ayr?
Yes. We survey and install in Ayr and across Ayrshire, including the KA7 district and nearby Irvine.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Ayr?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
