Key checks for Deeside projects
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.
Finishing
Paint and stain are fine on the timber, but intumescent seals must stay clear of paint. We mask them during finishing.
Moisture and movement
Timber frames need dry conditions on site and acclimatisation before glazing to avoid movement around the glass.
Which rules apply to timber fire-rated screens in Deeside?
Wales Which rules apply?
Building regulations are devolved in Wales, so fire safety design follows the Welsh Ministers' version of Approved Document B rather than the English one, alongside impact safety guidance for glazing.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, so the responsible person must maintain fire-resisting glazing as part of the premises' fire safety measures. The Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed this extends to the structure, external walls and flat entrance doors of multi-occupied residential buildings.
Wales is introducing its own building safety regime for occupied residential buildings, so check current Welsh requirements before planning major works to blocks of flats.
