Aluminium fire-rated screens are glazed walls built from aluminium profiles that have been tested with fire-resistant glass and insulating inserts. They suit offices, healthcare and education buildings that want a clean, modern frame matching the rest of the glazing.
Every quote in Didcot identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Didcot budgets are not open-ended.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Some aluminium systems are tested for external facades, others for internal use only. We match the system to the position.
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.
Our Oxfordshire coverage takes in Didcot (OX11, OX14) and the neighbouring towns of Abingdon, Oxford, Thatcham. Didcot is about 16 km from Oxford, the largest town in our Oxfordshire coverage.
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 Didcot, including hotels 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.
Yes. We survey and install in Didcot and across Oxfordshire, including the OX11 district and nearby Abingdon.
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.
