What's involved with aluminium fire-rated screens in Gosport
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
- Handover evidence
- Matching fire-rated doors within the system
- Integrity and insulating glass to the system schedule
Before you order aluminium fire-rated screens: what matters
External use
Some aluminium systems are tested for external facades, others for internal use only. We match the system to the position.
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.
