How we work in Sale
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Sale identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Evidence you can file
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Fixed written quotes
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Sale budgets are not open-ended.
Before you order aluminium fire-rated screens: what matters
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.
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.

Which rules apply to aluminium fire-rated screens in Sale?
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.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.
