What every Westhoughton quote includes
Honest about unknowns

Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Westhoughton identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
What to check before ordering aluminium fire-rated screens in Westhoughton
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.
External use
Some aluminium systems are tested for external facades, others for internal use only. We match the system to the position.
Door hardware
Hinges, locks and closers fitted to doors within the screen must be compatible with the door's evidence.

Will the frames match our other glazing?

Do you work on occupied buildings in Westhoughton?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
