What our aluminium fire-rated screens service includes in Canary Wharf
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.
- Handover evidence
- Tested aluminium fire screen systems
- Matching fire-rated doors within the system
- Anodised and powder-coated finishes
Key checks for Canary Wharf projects
Door hardware
Hinges, locks and closers fitted to doors within the screen must be compatible with the door's evidence.
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.

Is aluminium suitable for fire-rated glazing?
Yes, when it is a system designed and tested for fire. Ordinary aluminium partitions and windows are not fire-rated, however thick the glass.
