What our aluminium fire-rated screens service includes in Gwynedd
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.
- Tested aluminium fire screen systems
- Integrity and insulating glass to the system schedule
- Fire-stopping and perimeter details
Before you order in Gwynedd
External use
Some aluminium systems are tested for external facades, others for internal use only. We match the system to the position.
Door hardware
Hinges, locks and closers fitted to doors within the screen must be compatible with the door's evidence.
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.
Regulations for Gwynedd projects
Wales Which rules apply?
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.
Aluminium Fire-Rated Screens in Gwynedd: 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.
Is aluminium suitable for fire-rated glazing?
Yes, when it is a system designed and tested for fire. Ordinary aluminium partitions and windows are not fire-rated, however thick the glass.
Will the frames match our other glazing?
Usually they can be matched closely in profile and colour so rated and non-rated areas look consistent.
