Before you order aluminium fire-rated screens: what matters

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.

Deflection and fixings

Head details and fixing centres come from the system documentation, especially beneath long-span slabs.

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.

Fire glazing rules in England

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.

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.

Yes, when it is a system designed and tested for fire. Ordinary aluminium partitions and windows are not fire-rated, however thick the glass.

Do you work on occupied buildings in Burnley?

Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.

How quickly can you survey in Burnley?
