  • Fire-stopping and perimeter details

  • Matching fire-rated doors within the system

Key checks for Bexley projects

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.

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.

Door hardware

Hinges, locks and closers fitted to doors within the screen must be compatible with the door's evidence.
