What our aluminium fire-rated screens service includes in Whitehaven
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
- Fire-stopping and perimeter details
- Integrity and insulating glass to the system schedule
- Tested aluminium fire screen systems

Before you order aluminium fire-rated screens: what matters
Deflection and fixings
Head details and fixing centres come from the system documentation, especially beneath long-span slabs.
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.

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
