What's involved with aluminium fire-rated screens in Preston

- Integrity and insulating glass to the system schedule
- Fire-stopping and perimeter details
- Tested aluminium fire screen systems
- Anodised and powder-coated finishes
Before you order aluminium fire-rated screens: what matters
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.
Door hardware
Hinges, locks and closers fitted to doors within the screen must be compatible with the door's evidence.
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.
