Aluminium Fire-Rated Screens in Taunton: 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.
- Integrity and insulating glass to the system schedule
- Anodised and powder-coated finishes
- Matching fire-rated doors within the system
- Fire-stopping and perimeter details
What every Taunton quote includes
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Taunton building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Work around occupied buildings
We can phase work in Taunton around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Taunton identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Key checks for Taunton projects
Door hardware
Hinges, locks and closers fitted to doors within the screen must be compatible with the door's evidence.
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.
