Key checks for Canvey Island projects
Species and density count
Timber screens are tested with specific species and minimum densities. Softwood substitutions or thinner sections can fall outside the evidence.
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.
Canvey Island coverage and nearby towns

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