What to check before ordering in Forth Valley
External use
Some aluminium systems are tested for external facades, others for internal use only. We match the system to the position.
Door hardware
Hinges, locks and closers fitted to doors within the screen must be compatible with the door's evidence.
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.
Regulations for Forth Valley projects
Scotland Which rules apply?
In Scotland, building work needs a building warrant under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with fire guidance in Section 2 of the Building Standards Technical Handbooks rather than Approved Documents.
For relevant premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 place duties on the duty holder to maintain fire safety measures, which include fire-resisting glazing.
Scottish guidance has its own approach to escape routes and compartmentation, so glazing designs are checked against the Technical Handbooks and the warrant drawings.
FAQs for Forth Valley
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.
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.
Is aluminium suitable for fire-rated glazing?
Yes, when it is a system designed and tested for fire. Ordinary aluminium partitions and windows are not fire-rated, however thick the glass.
Can you survey anywhere in Forth Valley?
Yes. We can arrange surveys anywhere in Forth Valley, including Stirling and Falkirk, Alloa.
