Before you order aluminium fire-rated screens: what matters
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.
External use
Some aluminium systems are tested for external facades, others for internal use only. We match the system to the position.
