What's involved with timber fire-rated screens in Wellingborough
The rating depends on the timber species and density, frame sections, bead profiles, fixings and the glazing seals used in the test. We build timber screens to a tested specification, or to a formal assessment, and finish them without compromising the intumescent details.
- Painted, stained or lacquered finishes
- Fire glass with the specified intumescent glazing system
- Hardwood frames to tested sections and densities
- Over-panels, side panels and borrowed lights
How we work in Wellingborough

Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Wellingborough building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Key checks for Wellingborough projects
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.
Species and density count
Timber screens are tested with specific species and minimum densities. Softwood substitutions or thinner sections can fall outside the evidence.

Questions about timber fire-rated screens in Wellingborough
Can timber screens be painted?
Yes. The timber can be painted, stained or lacquered. Intumescent seals are kept clear of paint.
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.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Wellingborough?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
How quickly can you survey in Wellingborough?
Survey timing in Wellingborough 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.
