What our aluminium fire-rated screens service includes in Redruth

Aluminium softens at a lower temperature than steel, so fire-rated aluminium systems rely on specific internal inserts, reinforcements and glazing details. We install only the tested system as a whole, in anodised or powder-coated finishes, with doors and side panels where the evidence allows.

  • Matching fire-rated doors within the system
  • Integrity and insulating glass to the system schedule
  • Tested aluminium fire screen systems
  • Anodised and powder-coated finishes

Key checks for Redruth projects

Deflection and fixings

Head details and fixing centres come from the system documentation, especially beneath long-span slabs.

Matching non-rated glazing

Aluminium fire screens can be visually matched to non-rated partitions elsewhere, so a floor reads as one design while only some walls are fire-rated.

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.

England regulations that shape the job

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.

Questions about aluminium fire-rated screens in Redruth

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 Redruth?

Yes. We survey and install in Redruth and across Cornwall, including the TR15 district and nearby Camborne.

How quickly can you survey in Redruth?
