What our aluminium fire-rated screens service includes in Crawley

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
  • Matching fire-rated doors within the system
  • Anodised and powder-coated finishes
  • Fire-stopping and perimeter details

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.

Door hardware

Hinges, locks and closers fitted to doors within the screen must be compatible with the door's evidence.

External use

Some aluminium systems are tested for external facades, others for internal use only. We match the system to the position.

Fire glazing rules in England

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.

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.
