What to check before ordering aluminium fire-rated screens in Hove

Deflection and fixings

Head details and fixing centres come from the system documentation, especially beneath long-span slabs.

Door hardware

Hinges, locks and closers fitted to doors within the screen must be compatible with the door's evidence.

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.

Which rules apply to aluminium fire-rated screens in Hove?

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.
