Key checks for Highbury projects

External use

Some aluminium systems are tested for external facades, others for internal use only. We match the system to the position.

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.

Deflection and fixings

Head details and fixing centres come from the system documentation, especially beneath long-span slabs.

Aluminium Fire-Rated Screens: Highbury questions

Will the frames match our other glazing?

Usually they can be matched closely in profile and colour so rated and non-rated areas look consistent.

What ratings can aluminium screens achieve?

30 and 60-minute ratings are common, in integrity or insulation classes depending on the glass. We confirm availability for the sizes you need.

How quickly can you survey in Highbury?

Survey timing in Highbury depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.

Do you work on occupied buildings in Highbury?

Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
