What's involved with timber fire-rated screens in Croydon
Timber fire-rated screens are glazed partitions made with hardwood frames, glazing beads and intumescent seals that have been tested together to resist fire. They are common in schools, healthcare, heritage buildings and residential blocks where a warmer finish is wanted.

What to check before ordering timber fire-rated screens in Croydon
Insulating glass weight
Heavier insulating glass may need larger sections; we confirm the frame can carry the chosen build-up.
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.
Moisture and movement
Timber frames need dry conditions on site and acclimatisation before glazing to avoid movement around the glass.

FAQs for Croydon
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.
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.
