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

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
  • Handover evidence
  • Fire-stopping and perimeter details

Key checks for Castleford projects

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.

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.

External use

Some aluminium systems are tested for external facades, others for internal use only. We match the system to the position.
