Leeds WINDOWS AND DOORS COMPANY
We are Aluminium Fire Systems. Our manufacturing hub is centrally located at Summer Lane in Birmingham (B19 3QL), we operate as a dedicated Leeds Fire Rated Windows and Doors Company that provide the high-quality fire safety glazing that contractors and architects often find complex to source in West Yorkshire. Whether you are working on a project near the M621 or other busy city transport routes, finding a reliable provider of fire rated aluminium windows and fire rated aluminium doors is critical for ensuring project compliance.
At Aluminium Fire Systems (AFS), we simplify this process. We manufacture our own units to strict UK safety standards using the industry-renowned MB-78EI systems. Our hands-on manufacturing approach ensures that your project benefits from precision engineering and proven fire protection without the delays often associated with third-party suppliers.
Certified Fire Rated Systems for Leeds Projects
We supply a versatile range of fire resistant windows, fire resistant doors and fire resistant glass partitions designed to meet the diverse architectural needs of Leeds. Whether you are managing a Leeds fire rated windows and doors, large-scale commercial warehouse or a multi-occupancy residential apartment block, our products are rigorously tested to ensure they are non-fire spreading (NRO) or non-fire propagating (NFP).
Why Material Choice Matters
Aluminium vs. Steel
While many Leeds projects have and still use steel fire rated products, fire rated aluminium doors, windows and glass partitions are now the preferred choice for modern developments. Unlike steel competitors, our aluminium systems offer:
- Superior Thermal Breaks: Aluminium provides much better insulation than traditional steel, helping you meet strict energy efficiency targets.
- Architectural Aesthetics: Our slim-line MB-78EI profiles allows for large glass spans which are perfect for creating light-filled, modern spaces.
- Corrosion Resistance: Aluminium naturally resists rust, making it more durable for external facades and high-humidity environments in West Yorkshire.
Fire Rated Windows
As a specialist Leeds Fire Rated Windows and Doors Company, we ensure our fixed partitions are fully compliant with EN 13501-2+A1 standards.
These systems are designed to effectively halt the spread of smoke and fire while maximising natural light, which may be a deciding factor for architects working on modern office refurbishments in the city centre.
Protection levels available:
Fire Rated Doors (MB-78EI)
Effective compartmentation is the cornerstone of building safety. This means creating a sealed barrier to trap fire within a specific zone. Our fire rated aluminium doors are essential for creating these barriers and keeping evacuation routes clear of smoke and flame.
We use the MB-78EI system, our system of choice, to manufacture both internal and external fire doors. These aluminium units provide a sleek and modern alternative to heavy steel doors and offer superior durability. We supply single or double doors with ratings including EI 30 fire rating and EI 60 fire rating to match your specific fire strategy requirements.
Beyond Fire: Security and Acoustic Performance
When sourcing fire rated aluminium windows, we understand that safety is just one part of the brief. While many projects are specified based on the MB-86EI system, we offer a range of high-performance alternatives that match its critical fire safety standards while providing excellent all-round protection.
- Robust Security: Our current fire-rated profiles are engineered for more than just heat resistance. They provide a formidable barrier against forced entry, ensuring your property remains secure without compromising on fire compliance.
- Effective Sound Reduction: Ideal for developments near busy Leeds traffic routes, our glazing units provide acoustic insulation of up to 41 dB*. This significantly dampens external noise, ensuring a quiet and productive interior environment.
*Acoustic performance is dependent on the specific glass unit and system configuration chosen.

How does an EI rating work?
The rating system is broken down into two parts. ‘E’ stands for Integrity (stopping flames and hot gases). ‘I’ stands for Insulation (stopping the transfer of heat). While some steel competitors only offer ‘E’ ratings, our EI 60 fire rating products ensure that the non-fire side of the door remains cool enough to allow occupants to escape safely and emergency services to enter the building safely.
How long do fire-rated doors last?
Fire-rated doors typically have a lifespan of about 20 years, but this is entirely dependent on regular maintenance and the volume of traffic. According to UK safety regulations, they should be inspected at least every six months to ensure all components, such as intumescent seals and closers, are still functioning correctly.
Can a fire rated door include glass as well as fire rated panels?
Yes. Our fire rated aluminium doors can be manufactured with integrated fire-rated glass. By using systems like the MB-78EI, we can provide large vision panels that maintain full fire and smoke integrity while allowing for natural light and visibility.
Can frameless doors be fire-rated?
Yes, frameless fire-rated doors are available, but they require specialised fire-rated glass and specific hardware to ensure they meet safety standards without a traditional frame. They often carry a higher price point due to the specialised nature of the glass required to maintain integrity without structural aluminium support.
Do you install the products in Leeds?
We are a dedicated UK manufacturer and supplier, with our production hub located at our Summer Lane facility in Birmingham. While we do not provide installation services directly, we have a network of trusted fire door installation contractors in Leeds and the wider West Yorkshire region who are familiar with our fire rated systems.
