Fire-Rated Glazed Screens
Internal glazed screens that keep compartments and corridors protected.
Learn more →We provide aluminium fire-rated screens in Ramsgate and across Kent, working from the classification your building needs and handing over the evidence that proves what was fitted.

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.
Every quote in Ramsgate identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
If an existing frame in a Ramsgate building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
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.
Hinges, locks and closers fitted to doors within the screen must be compatible with the door's evidence.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Ramsgate, including the CT11, CT10 districts, and in nearby Broadstairs, Margate, Deal. Maidstone, around 63 km from Ramsgate, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
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.
Aluminium fire-rated screens applies to many building types in Ramsgate, including schools and colleges and industrial units.
Some systems are tested for external use. If the screen forms part of the building envelope we specify an external-rated system and glass.
Usually they can be matched closely in profile and colour so rated and non-rated areas look consistent.
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.
Survey timing in Ramsgate depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
