What's involved with aluminium fire-rated screens in Oldham
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.

- Fire-stopping and perimeter details
- Anodised and powder-coated finishes
