What's involved with aluminium fire-rated screens in Northwich
Aluminium fire-rated screens are glazed walls built from aluminium profiles that have been tested with fire-resistant glass and insulating inserts. They suit offices, healthcare and education buildings that want a clean, modern frame matching the rest of the glazing.
- Tested aluminium fire screen systems
- Integrity and insulating glass to the system schedule
- Handover evidence
- Fire-stopping and perimeter details
Key checks for Northwich projects
Door hardware
Hinges, locks and closers fitted to doors within the screen must be compatible with the door's evidence.
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.
Ratings available
Aluminium systems are commonly available at 30 and 60 minutes; higher ratings are less common and may point to a steel system instead.
