Timber Fire-Rated Screens in Coleraine: what's included

- Fire glass with the specified intumescent glazing system
- Painted, stained or lacquered finishes
- Fire-rated timber doorsets set into screens
What you can expect in Coleraine

Evidence you can file
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Before you order timber fire-rated screens: what matters
Moisture and movement
Timber frames need dry conditions on site and acclimatisation before glazing to avoid movement around the glass.
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.

Timber Fire-Rated Screens: Coleraine 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.
Which timbers are used?
Dense hardwoods are typical; the exact species depends on the tested specification. We confirm species and density on the drawings.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Coleraine?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
How quickly can you survey in Coleraine?
Survey timing in Coleraine depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
