- Fire-rated timber doorsets set into screens
- Fire-stopping to the structure
- Fire glass with the specified intumescent glazing system
- Hardwood frames to tested sections and densities
Key checks for Blyth 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.
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.
Which rules apply to timber fire-rated screens in Blyth?
England Which rules apply?
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.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.
