Key checks for Billingham projects
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.
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.

Timber Fire-Rated Screens: Billingham questions
Which timbers are used?
Dense hardwoods are typical; the exact species depends on the tested specification. We confirm species and density on the drawings.
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.
Do you carry out timber fire-rated screens in Billingham?
Yes. We survey and install in Billingham and across County Durham, including the TS23 district and nearby Stockton-on-Tees.
Can you price timber fire-rated screens in Billingham 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.
