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.
We cover Old Trafford and the surrounding postcode districts, including M16, M17, M32, M50, M5, M21. Nearby towns we also serve include Stretford, Salford, Eccles. Old Trafford is about 4 km from Manchester, the largest town in our Greater Manchester coverage.
Hinges, locks and closers fitted to doors within the screen must be compatible with the door's evidence.
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.
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.
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.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Old Trafford budgets are not open-ended.

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.
