Fortis Fire’s aluminium fire-rated and non-fire-rated doors and windows are designed to combine safety, durability, and architectural versatility.

The fire-rated range is tested to recognised European standards, providing effective resistance against the spread of fire and smoke for a specified duration. This allows for safe evacuation and limits damage to other areas of a building.

The non-fire-rated range offers the same robust aluminium construction and modern aesthetic for internal partitions, facades, and entrances where fire resistance is not required.

Both ranges are engineered to meet the demands of contemporary construction, delivering compliance where necessary, and refined design everywhere.

Key Features & Performance

• Fire resistance: 30 to 120 minutes (tested to BS EN 1634-1).
  
• Non-fire-rated models: Same premium aluminium build without fire performance requirements.
  
• Configurations: Single or double leaf doors, fixed screens, sliding systems, or glazed panels.
  
• Material benefits: Lightweight yet strong extruded aluminium with excellent corrosion resistance.
  
• Design flexibility: Slim sightlines and a broad palette of finishes for modern architecture.
  
• Thermal options: Systems with or without thermal breaks for enhanced energy performance.
  
• Glazing compatibility: Accepts a range of fire-rated or standard glazing, depending on application.

• BS 476: Part 22 – Fire resistance tests for doors and shutters (where applicable)

Construction & Materials

• Profiles: Precision-engineered aluminium sections, with thermal or non-thermal options
  
• Cores: Fire-resistant models may incorporate mineral or intumescent materials
  
• Finishes: Powder-coated, anodised, or natural aluminium to meet project requirements
  
• Durability: Corrosion-resistant, making them suitable for both interior and exterior applications
  

Glazing Options

• Fire-rated range: Clear, laminated, or specialist fire-resistant glass, tested as part of the full assembly
  
• Non-fire-rated range: Standard safety, laminated, or double-glazed units for acoustic and thermal performance
  
  

Hardware & Accessories

• Fire-rated hinges, closers, and locks (for certified models)
  
• Multi-point locking systems (non-fire-rated models)
  
• Expansion-prone and smoke seals (fire-rated models)
  
• Optional vision panels in bespoke sizes
  
• Weather-sealing and threshold solutions for external use
