Timber Fire-Rated Screens in Chesham: what's included
The rating depends on the timber species and density, frame sections, bead profiles, fixings and the glazing seals used in the test. We build timber screens to a tested specification, or to a formal assessment, and finish them without compromising the intumescent details.
- Fire-rated timber doorsets set into screens
- Hardwood frames to tested sections and densities
- Over-panels, side panels and borrowed lights
- Painted, stained or lacquered finishes
What to check before ordering timber fire-rated screens in Chesham
Insulating glass weight
Heavier insulating glass may need larger sections; we confirm the frame can carry the chosen build-up.
Beads are part of the rating
Bead profile, height and fixing type and spacing are all taken from the test. Short-cutting the fixings is a common reason screens fail inspection.
Species and density count
Timber screens are tested with specific species and minimum densities. Softwood substitutions or thinner sections can fall outside the evidence.

England regulations that shape the job
England Which rules apply?
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.

Timber Fire-Rated Screens: Chesham questions
Can you upgrade an old timber screen?
Sometimes. If the frame can be shown to be suitable, we can replace non-rated glass and add the correct seals and beads. Where it cannot, replacement is the honest answer.
Can timber screens be fire-rated?
Yes. Hardwood screens are tested to 30 and 60 minutes in many configurations, with the right glass, beads and seals.
Which rules apply to fire-rated glazing in Chesham?
Building work in Chesham follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Can you price timber fire-rated screens in Chesham from photos?
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
