What our aluminium fire-rated screens service includes in West Sussex
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.
- Handover evidence
- Tested aluminium fire screen systems
- Integrity and insulating glass to the system schedule
What to check before ordering in West Sussex
External use
Some aluminium systems are tested for external facades, others for internal use only. We match the system to the position.
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.
Regulations for West Sussex projects
England Which rules apply?

Questions from West Sussex clients
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.
Is aluminium suitable for fire-rated glazing?
Yes, when it is a system designed and tested for fire. Ordinary aluminium partitions and windows are not fire-rated, however thick the glass.
Can you survey anywhere in West Sussex?
Yes. We can arrange surveys anywhere in West Sussex, including Crawley and Worthing, Bognor Regis, Littlehampton, Horsham.
