What's involved with timber fire-rated screens in Billericay

- Fire-rated timber doorsets set into screens
- Hardwood frames to tested sections and densities
- Fire glass with the specified intumescent glazing system
- Painted, stained or lacquered finishes

What to check before ordering timber fire-rated screens in Billericay
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.

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
