Schueco UK ‘s range of specialist glazed aluminium doors, façades and windows is the most comprehensive in the UK market, and is almost indistinguishable in appearance from standard products.
Schueco UK Limited, whose range of specialist glazed aluminium doors, façades and windows is the most comprehensive in the UK market, has announced that its aluminium fire protection systems fully satisfy Building Regulations’ requirements. Almost indistinguishable in appearance from standard products, the products meet all the criteria for Integrity (E) – the prevention of the spread of flame – and Integrity/Insulation (EI) – the prevention of the spread of flame and the provision of a barrier to heat.
Single and double Schueco ADS 80 FR doors can be specified with either a 30- or 60-minute integrity or integrity/insulation rating and, like every system in the Schueco fire-protection range, are fully tested according to EN 13501. To upgrade from a 30-minute to a 60-minute specification, special heat insulation material is introduced into the aluminium profiles and the glazing is uprated accordingly.
The doors are offered with a variety of side and top lights including radiused and angled shapes, allowing a wide range of approved design options. While more commonly employed internally, Schueco fire doors can also be supplied for external applications. All types of doors can be specified with either face-fitting or barrel hinges and standard or burglar-resistant locking options.
Schueco UK also offers aluminium fire protection façade systems (designated FW 50+ BF and FW 60+ BF) and skylight systems with 30- and 60-minute protection, all conforming to EN 1364, as well as Schueco AWS fire windows, offering 30-minute integrity/insulation (EI).
