What's involved with aluminium fire-rated screens in Arnold
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
- Anodised and powder-coated finishes
- Integrity and insulating glass to the system schedule
- Fire-stopping and perimeter details
What every Arnold quote includes

We can phase work in Arnold around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Rated systems, not just rated glass

Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Arnold building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
What to check before ordering aluminium fire-rated screens in Arnold
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.
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.
