Internal glazed screens that keep compartments and corridors protected.

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.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Guildford budgets are not open-ended.
We can phase work in Guildford around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
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.
Head details and fixing centres come from the system documentation, especially beneath long-span slabs.
Whether the building is in central Guildford or the wider GU1, GU2, GU4 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Godalming, Woking, Aldershot. Woking, around 9 km from Guildford, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
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.
We can survey and quote for healthcare buildings, retail and leisure units and other building types in Guildford.
30 and 60-minute ratings are common, in integrity or insulation classes depending on the glass. We confirm availability for the sizes you need.
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 Guildford and across Surrey, including the GU1 district and nearby Godalming.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
