What our aluminium fire-rated screens service includes in Barnstaple
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.
- Handover evidence
- Matching fire-rated doors within the system
- Tested aluminium fire screen systems
- Fire-stopping and perimeter details
What every Barnstaple quote includes
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Barnstaple identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
England rules applied
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Barnstaple building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
What to check before ordering aluminium fire-rated screens in Barnstaple
Door hardware
Hinges, locks and closers fitted to doors within the screen must be compatible with the door's evidence.
External use
Some aluminium systems are tested for external facades, others for internal use only. We match the system to the position.
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.

Aluminium Fire-Rated Screens: Barnstaple questions
Will the frames match our other glazing?
Usually they can be matched closely in profile and colour so rated and non-rated areas look consistent.
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.
Which rules apply to fire-rated glazing in Barnstaple?
Building work in Barnstaple follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Barnstaple?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
