What our aluminium fire-rated screens service includes in Farnborough
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.
- Matching fire-rated doors within the system
- Handover evidence
- Integrity and insulating glass to the system schedule
- Fire-stopping and perimeter details
What to check before ordering aluminium fire-rated screens in Farnborough
Ratings available
Aluminium systems are commonly available at 30 and 60 minutes; higher ratings are less common and may point to a steel system instead.
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: Farnborough questions
Can aluminium fire screens be used outside?
Some systems are tested for external use. If the screen forms part of the building envelope we specify an external-rated system and glass.
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.
How quickly can you survey in Farnborough?
Survey timing in Farnborough 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 carry out aluminium fire-rated screens in Farnborough?
Yes. We survey and install in Farnborough and across Hampshire, including the GU11 district and nearby Camberley.
