What our timber fire-rated screens service includes in Scunthorpe

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

England rules applied
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Scunthorpe identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Before you order timber fire-rated screens: what matters
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.
Species and density count
Timber screens are tested with specific species and minimum densities. Softwood substitutions or thinner sections can fall outside the evidence.
