Aluminium Fire-Rated Screens in Chester: what's included
Aluminium fire-rated screens are glazed walls built from aluminium profiles that have been tested with fire-resistant glass and insulating inserts. They suit offices, healthcare and education buildings that want a clean, modern frame matching the rest of the glazing.
- Tested aluminium fire screen systems
- Matching fire-rated doors within the system
- Handover evidence
- Integrity and insulating glass to the system schedule
Before you order aluminium fire-rated screens: what matters
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.
Deflection and fixings
Head details and fixing centres come from the system documentation, especially beneath long-span slabs.
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.

Whether the building is in central Chester or the wider CH1, CH88, CH70 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Hawarden, Deeside, Ellesmere Port. Chester is about 31 km from Warrington, the largest town in our Cheshire coverage.

Aluminium Fire-Rated Screens: Chester 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.
What ratings can aluminium screens achieve?
30 and 60-minute ratings are common, in integrity or insulation classes depending on the glass. We confirm availability for the sizes you need.
Do you carry out aluminium fire-rated screens in Chester?
Yes. We survey and install in Chester and across Cheshire, including the CH1 district and nearby Hawarden.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Chester?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
