Timber Fire-Rated Screens in Kidsgrove: 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.
- Painted, stained or lacquered finishes
- Fire-rated timber doorsets set into screens
- Over-panels, side panels and borrowed lights
- Hardwood frames to tested sections and densities
What you can expect in Kidsgrove
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Kidsgrove identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
England rules applied
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 Kidsgrove building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Before you order timber fire-rated screens: what matters
Beads are part of the rating
Bead profile, height and fixing type and spacing are all taken from the test. Short-cutting the fixings is a common reason screens fail inspection.
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.

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