What our aluminium fire-rated screens service includes in Ramsgate

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.

How we work in Ramsgate

Rated systems, not just rated glass

Every quote in Ramsgate identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.

England rules applied

Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Honest about unknowns

If an existing frame in a Ramsgate building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.

Key checks for Ramsgate projects

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.

Deflection and fixings

Head details and fixing centres come from the system documentation, especially beneath long-span slabs.

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?

We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
