Aluminium Fire-Rated Glass Door Installation in Kenya
When a fire breaks out in a building, it can spread very fast. Fortunately, it can be contained
significantly with fire doors, fire-rated glass, and fire-rated partitions. These can slow the spread of a fire, making it easier to combat, giving more time for people to escape, and limiting damage to the building.
Most people think of glass as a frail material. After all, it can crack, shatter and break. Even
laminated glass, designed to take a solid blow from a hammer can still melt and crack easily
when exposed to flames. Yet fire-rated glass can be very effective at retarding the spread of a fire.
Why choose an aluminum fire-rated glass door?
-
Fire containment without sacrificing light: maintains compartmentation and visibility while resisting fire for rated minutes.
-
Architectural finish: slim aluminum frames + clear glass keep interiors bright and professional.
-
Compliance-ready: installed with appropriate seals and hardware to meet fire safety objectives.
-
Fast replacement & maintenance: modular glazing and standard hardware reduce downtime.
Types of Aluminium Fire-Rated Glass Doors we Install
There are two types of fire-rated glass: fire protective and fire-resistive.
Note: It is vital to ensure that the framework also has the same fire rating as the glass. Ceramic setting blocks and glazing tape is also required to ensure that in the case of fire, the glass does not fall out of the frame.
Fire-Protective Glass Door
Fire-protective glass is often glazing added to glass as glazing and can slow the spread of flames and smoke. Fire-resistant glass, often made from several laminated panels, goes one step further and keeps heat from spreading.
Fire Resistive Glass Doors
Fire-rated glass can last as long as some fire doors – even up to two hours when properly specified. Fire-rated glass, just as with fire doors, has different categories depending on how well they are expected to perform in the case of fire.
Glass & glazing
We use specialized fire-resistant glazing, engineered to maintain integrity under high temperatures. Options typically include ceramic-based fire glass or glazing with fire-resistant interlayers. These products are selected based on the required rating and test evidence.

Get In Touch with An Aluminum Fire Rated glass door Installer Specialist
What is a fire-rated glass door?
A fire-rated glass door is a glazed door assembly engineered and tested to resist fire for a specified time (e.g., 30–120 minutes). It uses specialized fire-resistant glazing, intumescent seals, and tested hardware so the assembled unit remains effective during a fire.
💬 Request a quotation for accurate pricing based on your site.
Are aluminum frames safe for fire doors?
Yes — when designed and installed as a tested assembly. Aluminum frames for fire doors are engineered with thermal breaks and correct anchorage and must be used with certified glazing and intumescent seals to achieve the declared rating.
Can fire doors have access control or automatic openers?
Fire doors may integrate with access control, but any hold-open devices must be linked to the fire alarm and release automatically on activation to preserve egress safety. Integration must comply with local fire safety rules.
Do fire-rated glass doors need regular testing?
Yes. Doors should be inspected and serviced regularly (closure operation, intumescent seal condition, smoke seals) to ensure they will perform in an emergency. We offer annual testing and maintenance packages.
How long does installation take?
Typical installations take 1–3 days for a single door (site dependent). Larger or bespoke curtain wall systems will take longer and are quoted per project.
