Key checks for Newry projects

Finishing

Paint and stain are fine on the timber, but intumescent seals must stay clear of paint. We mask them during finishing.

Insulating glass weight

Heavier insulating glass may need larger sections; we confirm the frame can carry the chosen build-up.

Species and density count

Timber screens are tested with specific species and minimum densities. Softwood substitutions or thinner sections can fall outside the evidence.
