Aluminium Fire-Rated Screens in Richmond: what's included

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.

  • Integrity and insulating glass to the system schedule
  • Tested aluminium fire screen systems
  • Matching fire-rated doors within the system
  • Anodised and powder-coated finishes

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

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.

Deflection and fixings

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

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.

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

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.
