What's involved with aluminium fire-rated screens in Luton

Aluminium softens at a lower temperature than steel, so fire-rated aluminium systems rely on specific internal inserts, reinforcements and glazing details. We install only the tested system as a whole, in anodised or powder-coated finishes, with doors and side panels where the evidence allows.

  • Integrity and insulating glass to the system schedule
  • Handover evidence
  • Fire-stopping and perimeter details
  • Tested aluminium fire screen systems

What you can expect in Luton

Honest about unknowns

If an existing frame in a Luton building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.

Fixed written quotes

After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Luton budgets are not open-ended.

Rated systems, not just rated glass

Every quote in Luton identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.

What to check before ordering aluminium fire-rated screens in Luton

Deflection and fixings

Head details and fixing centres come from the system documentation, especially beneath long-span slabs.

External use

Some aluminium systems are tested for external facades, others for internal use only. We match the system to the position.

Matching non-rated glazing

Aluminium fire screens can be visually matched to non-rated partitions elsewhere, so a floor reads as one design while only some walls are fire-rated.
