Aluminium Fire-Rated Screens in Chorley: 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.
- Anodised and powder-coated finishes
- Integrity and insulating glass to the system schedule
- Handover evidence
- Matching fire-rated doors within the system

What to check before ordering aluminium fire-rated screens in Chorley
External use
Some aluminium systems are tested for external facades, others for internal use only. We match the system to the position.
Deflection and fixings
Head details and fixing centres come from the system documentation, especially beneath long-span slabs.
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.
