What's involved with aluminium fire-rated screens in Crowborough
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.
- Matching fire-rated doors within the system
- Tested aluminium fire screen systems
- Anodised and powder-coated finishes
- Integrity and insulating glass to the system schedule

Fixed written quotes
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Crowborough budgets are not open-ended.
What to check before ordering aluminium fire-rated screens in Crowborough
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.
Deflection and fixings
Head details and fixing centres come from the system documentation, especially beneath long-span slabs.
