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

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.

  • Over-panels, side panels and borrowed lights
  • Hardwood frames to tested sections and densities
  • Fire glass with the specified intumescent glazing system
  • Painted, stained or lacquered finishes

Before you order timber fire-rated screens: what matters

Species and density count

Timber screens are tested with specific species and minimum densities. Softwood substitutions or thinner sections can fall outside the evidence.

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.

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.

We cover Brentwood and the surrounding postcode districts, including CM14, CM13, CM15. Nearby towns we also serve include Billericay, Hornchurch, Romford. Southend-on-Sea, around 30 km from Brentwood, is the largest town in the same coverage area.

Questions about timber fire-rated screens in Brentwood

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.

Can you price timber fire-rated screens in Brentwood 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.

Do you carry out timber fire-rated screens in Brentwood?

Yes. We survey and install in Brentwood and across Essex, including the CM14 district and nearby Billericay.
