Fire-Rated Glazed Screens
Internal glazed screens that keep compartments and corridors protected.
Learn more →From the RH11 district outwards, we arrange aluminium fire-rated screens for buildings across Crawley, matching glass, frames and seals to tested evidence rather than guesswork.

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.
Whether the building is in central Crawley or the wider RH11, RH10 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Horley, Horsham, East Grinstead. Crawley is the main town we cover in West Sussex.
Head details and fixing centres come from the system documentation, especially beneath long-span slabs.
Hinges, locks and closers fitted to doors within the screen must be compatible with the door's evidence.
Some aluminium systems are tested for external facades, others for internal use only. We match the system to the position.
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 phase work in Crawley around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Crawley budgets are not open-ended.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Aluminium fire-rated screens applies to many building types in Crawley, including schools and colleges and blocks of flats.
Usually they can be matched closely in profile and colour so rated and non-rated areas look consistent.
Yes, when it is a system designed and tested for fire. Ordinary aluminium partitions and windows are not fire-rated, however thick the glass.
Building work in Crawley follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Yes. We survey and install in Crawley and across West Sussex, including the RH11 district and nearby Horley.
