What to check before ordering timber fire-rated screens in Bridgend
Moisture and movement
Timber frames need dry conditions on site and acclimatisation before glazing to avoid movement around the glass.
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.
Insulating glass weight
Heavier insulating glass may need larger sections; we confirm the frame can carry the chosen build-up.

Wales regulations that shape the job
Wales Which rules apply?
Building regulations are devolved in Wales, so fire safety design follows the Welsh Ministers' version of Approved Document B rather than the English one, alongside impact safety guidance for glazing.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, so the responsible person must maintain fire-resisting glazing as part of the premises' fire safety measures. The Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed this extends to the structure, external walls and flat entrance doors of multi-occupied residential buildings.
Wales is introducing its own building safety regime for occupied residential buildings, so check current Welsh requirements before planning major works to blocks of flats.
Sectors we cover in Bridgend

Questions about timber fire-rated screens in Bridgend
Can you upgrade an old timber screen?
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.
Which timbers are used?
Dense hardwoods are typical; the exact species depends on the tested specification. We confirm species and density on the drawings.
How quickly can you survey in Bridgend?
Survey timing in Bridgend depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Bridgend?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
