Aluminium Fire-Rated Screens in Pontefract: 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.
- Anodised and powder-coated finishes
- Matching fire-rated doors within the system
- Handover evidence
- Integrity and insulating glass to the system schedule

What to check before ordering aluminium fire-rated screens in Pontefract
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.
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.
