Fire-Rated Glazed Screens
Internal glazed screens that keep compartments and corridors protected.
Learn more →Aluminium fire-rated screens in Leyland is usually needed for one of three reasons: new building work, a change to an existing fire-resisting wall, or defects found in an inspection. We handle all three.

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.
Aluminium systems are commonly available at 30 and 60 minutes; higher ratings are less common and may point to a steel system instead.
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.
Whether the building is in central Leyland or the wider PR25, PR26, PR5 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Chorley, Preston, Blackburn. Preston, around 7 km from Leyland, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
If an existing frame in a Leyland building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
We can phase work in Leyland around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Aluminium fire-rated screens applies to many building types in Leyland, including blocks of flats and schools and colleges.
Some systems are tested for external use. If the screen forms part of the building envelope we specify an external-rated system and glass.
30 and 60-minute ratings are common, in integrity or insulation classes depending on the glass. We confirm availability for the sizes you need.
Survey timing in Leyland 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.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
