Fire-Rated Glazed Screens
Internal glazed screens that keep compartments and corridors protected.
Learn more →From the NP23 district outwards, we arrange aluminium fire-rated screens for buildings across Ebbw Vale, matching glass, frames and seals to tested evidence rather than guesswork.

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.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in Wales, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
If an existing frame in a Ebbw Vale building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
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 systems are commonly available at 30 and 60 minutes; higher ratings are less common and may point to a steel system instead.
Head details and fixing centres come from the system documentation, especially beneath long-span slabs.
Our Gwent coverage takes in Ebbw Vale (NP23, NP22) and the neighbouring towns of Merthyr Tydfil, Pontypool, Aberdare. Newport, around 26 km from Ebbw Vale, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
Building regulations are devolved in Wales, so fire safety design follows the Welsh Ministers' version of Approved Document B rather than the English one, alongside impact safety guidance for glazing.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, so the responsible person must maintain fire-resisting glazing as part of the premises' fire safety measures. The Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed this extends to the structure, external walls and flat entrance doors of multi-occupied residential buildings.
We can survey and quote for schools and colleges, blocks of flats and other building types in Ebbw Vale.
30 and 60-minute ratings are common, in integrity or insulation classes depending on the glass. We confirm availability for the sizes you need.
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. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
Yes. We survey and install in Ebbw Vale and across Gwent, including the NP23 district and nearby Merthyr Tydfil.
