Aluminium Fire-Rated Screens in Hailsham: what's included

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.

  • Integrity and insulating glass to the system schedule
  • Handover evidence
  • Tested aluminium fire screen systems
  • Anodised and powder-coated finishes

Key checks for Hailsham projects

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.

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.

Hailsham coverage and nearby towns

What every Hailsham quote includes

Honest about unknowns

If an existing frame in a Hailsham building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.

Rated systems, not just rated glass

Every quote in Hailsham identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.

Fixed written quotes

After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Hailsham budgets are not open-ended.

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.

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: Hailsham 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.

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.

Can you price aluminium fire-rated screens in Hailsham from photos?

We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.

How quickly can you survey in Hailsham?

Survey timing in Hailsham 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.
