  • Integrity and insulating glass to the system schedule
  • Fire-stopping and perimeter details
  • Anodised and powder-coated finishes
  • Matching fire-rated doors within the system

Key checks for Newquay projects

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.

Inserts make the rating

Fire-rated aluminium profiles contain insulating and intumescent inserts that standard profiles do not. Swapping in a standard section to save cost removes the rating.

Door hardware

Hinges, locks and closers fitted to doors within the screen must be compatible with the door's evidence.

Newquay coverage and nearby towns

We cover Newquay and the surrounding postcode districts, including TR7, TR8. Nearby towns we also serve include Truro, St Austell, Redruth. Newquay lies roughly 23 km from Truro, within our Cornwall coverage.

Aluminium Fire-Rated Screens: Newquay questions

Will the frames match our other glazing?

Usually they can be matched closely in profile and colour so rated and non-rated areas look consistent.

Is aluminium suitable for fire-rated glazing?

Yes, when it is a system designed and tested for fire. Ordinary aluminium partitions and windows are not fire-rated, however thick the glass.

Do you carry out aluminium fire-rated screens in Newquay?

Yes. We survey and install in Newquay and across Cornwall, including the TR7 district and nearby Truro.

How quickly can you survey in Newquay?

Survey timing in Newquay depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
