What our timber fire-rated screens service includes in Hornchurch

- Over-panels, side panels and borrowed lights
- Hardwood frames to tested sections and densities
- Fire glass with the specified intumescent glazing system

What to check before ordering timber fire-rated screens in Hornchurch
Finishing
Paint and stain are fine on the timber, but intumescent seals must stay clear of paint. We mask them during finishing.
Species and density count
Timber screens are tested with specific species and minimum densities. Softwood substitutions or thinner sections can fall outside the evidence.
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.
