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.
Head details and fixing centres come from the system documentation, especially beneath long-span slabs.
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.
Hinges, locks and closers fitted to doors within the screen must be compatible with the door's evidence.
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.
Coverage around Fareham includes the PO16, PO13, PO17, PO14 districts and nearby Gosport, Portsmouth, Waterlooville. Southampton, around 17 km from Fareham, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Fareham budgets are not open-ended.
Every quote in Fareham identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
We can survey and quote for retail and leisure units, public buildings and other building types in Fareham.
Yes, when it is a system designed and tested for fire. Ordinary aluminium partitions and windows are not fire-rated, however thick the glass.
Usually they can be matched closely in profile and colour so rated and non-rated areas look consistent.
Building work in Fareham follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
