What's involved with timber fire-rated screens in Yate
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-stopping to the structure
- Fire-rated timber doorsets set into screens
- Hardwood frames to tested sections and densities
- Fire glass with the specified intumescent glazing system
How we work in Yate
England rules applied
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Evidence you can file
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Yate building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Key checks for Yate projects
Insulating glass weight
Heavier insulating glass may need larger sections; we confirm the frame can carry the chosen build-up.
Moisture and movement
Timber frames need dry conditions on site and acclimatisation before glazing to avoid movement around the glass.
Finishing
Paint and stain are fine on the timber, but intumescent seals must stay clear of paint. We mask them during finishing.
