Architectural Engineering in Glass, Steel & Aluminium

AEL are recognised across the construction industry as the market leader of all forms of glazed firescreens as primary passive fire protection in both new-build and refurbishment projects across the UK. We have the experience and expertise to successfully deliver passive fire protection solutions to all sizes and types of project, from single fixed screens in a domestic environment to the largest and most complex of commercial, scientific and office contracts, often now including door automation packages.

We work with many UK and European glass manufacturers, test-houses, materials and hardware companies to provide fully-accredited passive fire protection systems that are backed-up with FIRAS accreditation. This serves as a guarantee that an installation by a registered contractor will be in accordance with proven specifications, supported by independent fire test evidence or an independent fire performance assessment from a UKAS or Internationally recognised fire‐testing authority.

Having both FIRAS accreditation for our installations as well as our own in-house maintenance division gives a guarantee of the highest levels of performance & protection, not only when the installation is new, but onwards throughout the building’s useful lifetime.

The product range on offer is the broadest and most comprehensive in the market. We are the only UK manufacturer/installer able to provide EI120 (2-hours Integrity & Insulation) in a non-metallic framing system as well as having the unique test evidence and ability to offer softwood solutions where economy is required.
