Key checks for Macclesfield projects

Timber screens are tested with specific species and minimum densities. Softwood substitutions or thinner sections can fall outside the evidence.
Heritage buildings
Timber suits listed and older buildings, and existing screens can sometimes be upgraded with new glass and seals, subject to an assessment of the frame.
Insulating glass weight
Heavier insulating glass may need larger sections; we confirm the frame can carry the chosen build-up.
