What to check before ordering timber fire-rated screens in Darton
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.
Species and density count
Timber screens are tested with specific species and minimum densities. Softwood substitutions or thinner sections can fall outside the evidence.
