‘Fire and Smoke Protection – A Complete Solution from Aluprof’

Aluminium remains the most widely specified material for commercial windows, doors and curtain wall, so it should come as no surprise that leading European systems company, Aluprof, offer a comprehensive range of fire rated systems.

Until a few years ago, material choices were limited to timber and steel systems, but with advances in design and materials, aluminium framed products are now quickly becoming the specifiers choice. Aluprof have designed each of their fire rated products to perfectly complement their standard systems. So for any part of any screen, window, door or curtain wall aluminium framing can be fire rated and can still retain the slim sight lines of standard systems. Some solutions are unique to the industry and available only from Aluprof such as the fire rated, silicon joint curtain wall system MB SR50NEI Efekt tested to EI60 class

The company’s new brochure entitled, ‘Fire Rated and Smoke Exhaust Systems’, explains in detail each product and rating. Aluprof systems offer some of the highest fire protection ratings in Europe, some reaching EI120 – that’s two hours fire and smoke protection. Each system has been tested according to UK industry standards with various specialist glasses and all are fully covered by the UK’s ‘Certifire’ certificate of approval.

Frames are designed, fabricated and installed by selected, specially trained companies across the UK. Aluminium frames using a combination of machined plasterboard slips, ceramic cores, stainless steel clips and intumescent strips, ratings can be adjusted to suit any application.
