What's involved with timber fire-rated screens in Canterbury
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
- Hardwood frames to tested sections and densities
- Fire-rated timber doorsets set into screens
- Painted, stained or lacquered finishes
What to check before ordering timber fire-rated screens in Canterbury
Finishing
Paint and stain are fine on the timber, but intumescent seals must stay clear of paint. We mask them during finishing.
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.
Insulating glass weight
Heavier insulating glass may need larger sections; we confirm the frame can carry the chosen build-up.

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.

Dense hardwoods are typical; the exact species depends on the tested specification. We confirm species and density on the drawings.
