What's involved with timber fire-rated screens in Waterlooville
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
- Painted, stained or lacquered finishes
- Fire-rated timber doorsets set into screens
- Fire glass with the specified intumescent glazing system
What to check before ordering timber fire-rated screens in Waterlooville
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.

Yes. Hardwood screens are tested to 30 and 60 minutes in many configurations, with the right glass, beads and seals.
