What's involved with aluminium fire-rated screens in Bradford
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.
- Matching fire-rated doors within the system
- Integrity and insulating glass to the system schedule
- Handover evidence
- Fire-stopping and perimeter details
Key checks for Bradford projects
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.
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.
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.

Aluminium Fire-Rated Screens: Bradford questions
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.
What ratings can aluminium screens achieve?
30 and 60-minute ratings are common, in integrity or insulation classes depending on the glass. We confirm availability for the sizes you need.
How quickly can you survey in Bradford?
Survey timing in Bradford depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Bradford?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
