What's involved with aluminium fire-rated screens in Acton
Aluminium fire-rated screens are glazed walls built from aluminium profiles that have been tested with fire-resistant glass and insulating inserts. They suit offices, healthcare and education buildings that want a clean, modern frame matching the rest of the glazing.
- Integrity and insulating glass to the system schedule
- Handover evidence
- Matching fire-rated doors within the system
- Anodised and powder-coated finishes
What to check before ordering aluminium fire-rated screens in Acton
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.
Deflection and fixings
Head details and fixing centres come from the system documentation, especially beneath long-span slabs.
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.
