Fire-Rated Glazed Screens
Internal glazed screens that keep compartments and corridors protected.
Learn more →For Fleetwood buildings, we supply, replace and check aluminium fire-rated screens wherever the fire strategy depends on it, working to the tested system rather than the glass alone.

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.
Our Lancashire coverage takes in Fleetwood (FY7) and the neighbouring towns of Thornton-Cleveleys, Blackpool, Morecambe. Fleetwood lies roughly 27 km from Preston, within our Lancashire coverage.
Aluminium systems are commonly available at 30 and 60 minutes; higher ratings are less common and may point to a steel system instead.
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.
Head details and fixing centres come from the system documentation, especially beneath long-span slabs.
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.
Every quote in Fleetwood identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
We can phase work in Fleetwood around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Aluminium fire-rated screens applies to many building types in Fleetwood, including blocks of flats and care homes.
Usually they can be matched closely in profile and colour so rated and non-rated areas look consistent.
Some systems are tested for external use. If the screen forms part of the building envelope we specify an external-rated system and glass.
Building work in Fleetwood follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
