Aluminium Fire-Rated Screens in Birmingham: what's included
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.
- Anodised and powder-coated finishes
- Integrity and insulating glass to the system schedule
- Handover evidence
- Matching fire-rated doors within the system
Before you order aluminium fire-rated screens: what matters
Door hardware
Hinges, locks and closers fitted to doors within the screen must be compatible with the door's evidence.
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.

England Which rules apply?
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.

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.
