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.
Hinges, locks and closers fitted to doors within the screen must be compatible with the door's evidence.
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.
Some aluminium systems are tested for external facades, others for internal use only. We match the system to the position.
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.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Yeovil, including the BA20, BA21 districts, and in nearby Bridgwater, Taunton, Weymouth. Yeovil is about 52 km from Bath, the largest town in our Somerset coverage.

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.
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.
