Timber Fire-Rated Screens in Cardiff: what's included
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.
- Fire glass with the specified intumescent glazing system
- Hardwood frames to tested sections and densities
- Fire-rated timber doorsets set into screens
- Fire-stopping to the structure
What you can expect in Cardiff
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Cardiff building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Evidence you can file
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Fixed written quotes
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Cardiff budgets are not open-ended.
What to check before ordering timber fire-rated screens in Cardiff
Species and density count
Timber screens are tested with specific species and minimum densities. Softwood substitutions or thinner sections can fall outside the evidence.
Finishing
Paint and stain are fine on the timber, but intumescent seals must stay clear of paint. We mask them during finishing.
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 Cardiff?
Wales Which rules apply?
Building regulations are devolved in Wales, so fire safety design follows the Welsh Ministers' version of Approved Document B rather than the English one, alongside impact safety guidance for glazing.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, so the responsible person must maintain fire-resisting glazing as part of the premises' fire safety measures. The Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed this extends to the structure, external walls and flat entrance doors of multi-occupied residential buildings.
