What our aluminium fire-rated screens service includes in Deeside

  • Integrity and insulating glass to the system schedule
  • Handover evidence
  • Fire-stopping and perimeter details
  • Tested aluminium fire screen systems

Which rules apply to aluminium fire-rated screens in Deeside?

Wales Which rules apply?

Building regulations are devolved in Wales, so fire safety design follows the Welsh Ministers' version of Approved Document B rather than the English one, alongside impact safety guidance for glazing.

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, so the responsible person must maintain fire-resisting glazing as part of the premises' fire safety measures. The Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed this extends to the structure, external walls and flat entrance doors of multi-occupied residential buildings.
