Timber Fire-Rated Screens in Hove: 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.
- Painted, stained or lacquered finishes
- Fire-rated timber doorsets set into screens
- Fire glass with the specified intumescent glazing system
- Over-panels, side panels and borrowed lights
What to check before ordering timber fire-rated screens in Hove
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.
Insulating glass weight
Heavier insulating glass may need larger sections; we confirm the frame can carry the chosen build-up.
Hove coverage and nearby towns

Timber Fire-Rated Screens: Hove 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.
Can timber screens be fire-rated?
Yes. Hardwood screens are tested to 30 and 60 minutes in many configurations, with the right glass, beads and seals.
Do you carry out timber fire-rated screens in Hove?
Yes. We survey and install in Hove and across East Sussex, including the BN3 district and nearby Brighton.
Can you price timber fire-rated screens in Hove 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.
