Fire Resistant Windows & Doors

Through a strategic partnership between Shield Glass Technology and British Aluminium,both companies deliver integrated glazing solutions that set new benchmarks in safety, performance, and design. British Aluminium’s fire-rated systems, developed with European-sourced, thermally broken aluminium and steel profiles, are rigorously tested for fire integrity, insulation, and radiation control complemented by Shield Glass Technology’s expertise in advanced glass solutions.

Technical Specification

• Fire resistance classes: EI30 to EI120 (steel), EI30 to EI90 (aluminium)
  
  
• Fully thermally broken profiles with U-values as low as 1.6 W/(m²K)
  
  
• Glazing range: 9–49mm, including clear and laminated fire-rated glass
  
  
• High air, water, and dust performance (Class 4 air permeability, E900 water tightness)
  
  
• Available with single/double leaf doors, fixed screens, curtain walls, and sliding doors
  
  

Testing & Certification

All fire-resistant systems are developed by British Aluminium based on fully certified European systems and tested according to EN 13501-2 and UL 10C standards. Our systems achieve classifications including:

• E (Integrity) – prevents passage of flames and gases
  
  
• EW (Integrity & Radiation Control) – limits thermal radiation
  
  
• EI (Integrity & Insulation) –blocks heat transfer and maintains safe ambient temperature
  Testing includes air permeability, watertightness, and mechanical durability, verified by third-party labs including Intertek, Emirates Safety Lab, and Certifire.
  
  

Applications

Our fire-rated products are ideal for:

• High-rise residential and commercial buildings
  
  
• Hospitals and healthcare environments
  
  
• Educational institutions and public buildings
  
  
• Airports, metro stations, and mixed-use developments
  
  

British Aluminium systems are available in both visible-frame and frameless “glass wall” formats. Our steel and aluminium solutions combine safety with contemporary design, supporting flexible architectural layouts with full compliance to international civil defence codes.
