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

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
  • Handover evidence
  • Integrity and insulating glass to the system schedule
  • Matching fire-rated doors within the system

How we work in Coventry

England rules applied

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

Work around occupied buildings

We can phase work in Coventry around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.

Honest about unknowns

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

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.

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.

Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
