What to check before ordering aluminium fire-rated screens in Exeter
External use
Some aluminium systems are tested for external facades, others for internal use only. We match the system to the position.
Door hardware
Hinges, locks and closers fitted to doors within the screen must be compatible with the door's evidence.
Deflection and fixings
Head details and fixing centres come from the system documentation, especially beneath long-span slabs.

Questions about aluminium fire-rated screens in Exeter
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.
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.
Do you carry out aluminium fire-rated screens in Exeter?
Yes. We survey and install in Exeter and across Devon, including the EX2 district and nearby Exmouth.
How quickly can you survey in Exeter?
Survey timing in Exeter 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.
