Timber fire-rated screens are glazed partitions made with hardwood frames, glazing beads and intumescent seals that have been tested together to resist fire. They are common in schools, healthcare, heritage buildings and residential blocks where a warmer finish is wanted.
Our North Yorkshire coverage takes in Redcar (TS10, TS11) and the neighbouring towns of Middlesbrough, Hartlepool, Billingham. York, around 73 km from Redcar, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
Paint and stain are fine on the timber, but intumescent seals must stay clear of paint. We mask them during finishing.
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.
Timber frames need dry conditions on site and acclimatisation before glazing to avoid movement around the glass.
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
We can phase work in Redcar around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
If an existing frame in a Redcar building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Sector guides below cover hotels, blocks of flats and other buildings in Redcar.
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.
Yes. Hardwood screens are tested to 30 and 60 minutes in many configurations, with the right glass, beads and seals.
Yes. We survey and install in Redcar and across North Yorkshire, including the TS10 district and nearby Middlesbrough.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
