What you can expect in Wallsend
England rules applied
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Wallsend identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Evidence you can file
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Before you order aluminium fire-rated screens: what matters
Deflection and fixings
Head details and fixing centres come from the system documentation, especially beneath long-span slabs.
Matching non-rated glazing
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.
Inserts make the rating
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.

Aluminium Fire-Rated Screens: Wallsend questions
Can aluminium fire screens be used outside?
Some systems are tested for external use. If the screen forms part of the building envelope we specify an external-rated system and glass.
Will the frames match our other glazing?
Usually they can be matched closely in profile and colour so rated and non-rated areas look consistent.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Wallsend?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
Which rules apply to fire-rated glazing in Wallsend?
Building work in Wallsend follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
