Aluminium Fire-Rated Screens in Radcliffe: what's included

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
  • Matching fire-rated doors within the system
  • Handover evidence
  • Integrity and insulating glass to the system schedule

What to check before ordering aluminium fire-rated screens in Radcliffe

Door hardware

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

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.
