What's involved with aluminium fire-rated screens in South Ockendon
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
- Anodised and powder-coated finishes

- Integrity and insulating glass to the system schedule

Aluminium systems are commonly available at 30 and 60 minutes; higher ratings are less common and may point to a steel system instead.
