What our aluminium fire-rated screens service includes in Kilburn

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.

  • Matching fire-rated doors within the system
  • Anodised and powder-coated finishes
  • Integrity and insulating glass to the system schedule
  • Handover evidence

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

Ratings available

Aluminium systems are commonly available at 30 and 60 minutes; higher ratings are less common and may point to a steel system instead.

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.

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.

Aluminium Fire-Rated Screens: Kilburn questions

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.

Yes, when it is a system designed and tested for fire. Ordinary aluminium partitions and windows are not fire-rated, however thick the glass.
