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.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Highbury budgets are not open-ended.
We can phase work in Highbury around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Some aluminium systems are tested for external facades, others for internal use only. We match the system to the position.
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.
Head details and fixing centres come from the system documentation, especially beneath long-span slabs.
We cover Highbury and the surrounding postcode districts, including N5, N7, N1, EC50, N1C, N4. Nearby towns we also serve include Islington, Holloway, Stamford Hill. Highbury is one of the Greater London districts we cover.
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.
We can survey and quote for hotels, schools and colleges and other building types in Highbury.
Usually they can be matched closely in profile and colour so rated and non-rated areas look consistent.
30 and 60-minute ratings are common, in integrity or insulation classes depending on the glass. We confirm availability for the sizes you need.
Survey timing in Highbury 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.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
