What's involved with timber fire-rated screens in Burnham-on-Sea
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.

What to check before ordering timber fire-rated screens in Burnham-on-Sea
Species and density count
Timber screens are tested with specific species and minimum densities. Softwood substitutions or thinner sections can fall outside the evidence.
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.
Moisture and movement
Timber frames need dry conditions on site and acclimatisation before glazing to avoid movement around the glass.
