What's involved with aluminium fire-rated screens in Carlisle
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.

Before you order aluminium fire-rated screens: what matters
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.
External use
Some aluminium systems are tested for external facades, others for internal use only. We match the system to the position.
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.

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.
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 Carlisle?
Yes. We survey and install in Carlisle and across Cumbria, including the CA1 district and nearby Dumfries.
How quickly can you survey in Carlisle?
Survey timing in Carlisle depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
