What's involved with aluminium fire-rated screens in Sittingbourne
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.
- Integrity and insulating glass to the system schedule
- Handover evidence
- Tested aluminium fire screen systems
- Matching fire-rated doors within the system
How we work in Sittingbourne
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Sittingbourne building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Evidence you can file
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Work around occupied buildings
We can phase work in Sittingbourne around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Before you order aluminium fire-rated screens: what matters
Inserts make the rating
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.
External use
Some aluminium systems are tested for external facades, others for internal use only. We match the system to the position.
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.

Which rules apply to aluminium fire-rated screens in Sittingbourne?
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.

Questions about aluminium fire-rated screens in Sittingbourne
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.
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.
How quickly can you survey in Sittingbourne?
Survey timing in Sittingbourne 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.
Can you price aluminium fire-rated screens in Sittingbourne from photos?
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.
