Before you order in East Sussex
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.
Door hardware
Hinges, locks and closers fitted to doors within the screen must be compatible with the door's evidence.
Deflection and fixings
Head details and fixing centres come from the system documentation, especially beneath long-span slabs.
Which rules apply in England?
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.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.

Aluminium Fire-Rated Screens in East Sussex: questions
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.
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.
Do you cover all of East Sussex?
Yes. We take enquiries from across East Sussex, including Brighton and Eastbourne, Hastings, Hove, Bexhill-on-Sea, and arrange surveys to suit your programme.
