Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Great Yarmouth building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Before you order timber fire-rated screens: what matters
Finishing
Paint and stain are fine on the timber, but intumescent seals must stay clear of paint. We mask them during finishing.
Insulating glass weight
Heavier insulating glass may need larger sections; we confirm the frame can carry the chosen build-up.
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.
