Aluminium Fire-Rated Screens in Vale of Leven: what's included
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.
- Tested aluminium fire screen systems
- Fire-stopping and perimeter details
- Anodised and powder-coated finishes
- Matching fire-rated doors within the system
Before you order aluminium fire-rated screens: what matters
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.
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.
