What's involved with timber fire-rated screens in Maghull

- Painted, stained or lacquered finishes
- Fire glass with the specified intumescent glazing system
- Over-panels, side panels and borrowed lights
What to check before ordering timber fire-rated screens in Maghull
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.
