Timber Fire-Rated Screens in Weymouth: what's included
The rating depends on the timber species and density, frame sections, bead profiles, fixings and the glazing seals used in the test. We build timber screens to a tested specification, or to a formal assessment, and finish them without compromising the intumescent details.
- Fire-rated timber doorsets set into screens
- Hardwood frames to tested sections and densities
- Over-panels, side panels and borrowed lights
- Painted, stained or lacquered finishes
Key checks for Weymouth projects
Finishing
Paint and stain are fine on the timber, but intumescent seals must stay clear of paint. We mask them during finishing.
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.
Weymouth coverage and nearby towns
Whether the building is in central Weymouth or the wider DT3, DT4 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Poole, Yeovil, Bournemouth. Bournemouth, around 43 km from Weymouth, is the largest town in the same coverage area.

Yes. The timber can be painted, stained or lacquered. Intumescent seals are kept clear of paint.
