Timber Fire-Rated Screens in Grantham: what's included

- Painted, stained or lacquered finishes
- Hardwood frames to tested sections and densities
- Fire-stopping to the structure
- Fire glass with the specified intumescent glazing system

Key checks for Grantham projects
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.
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.
