Aluminium Fire-Rated Screens: an overview for Gloucestershire
Aluminium fire-rated screens are glazed walls built from aluminium profiles that have been tested with fire-resistant glass and insulating inserts. They suit offices, healthcare and education buildings that want a clean, modern frame matching the rest of the glazing.
- Fire-stopping and perimeter details
- Integrity and insulating glass to the system schedule
- Handover evidence
Key checks for Gloucestershire projects
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.
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.

Aluminium Fire-Rated Screens in Gloucestershire: 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.
What ratings can aluminium screens achieve?
