What's involved with timber fire-rated screens in Stoke-on-Trent
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
- Fire-rated timber doorsets set into screens
- Fire-stopping to the structure
- Hardwood frames to tested sections and densities

Key checks for Stoke-on-Trent projects
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.
Insulating glass weight
Heavier insulating glass may need larger sections; we confirm the frame can carry the chosen build-up.

Timber Fire-Rated Screens: Stoke-on-Trent questions
Can you upgrade an old timber screen?
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.
How quickly can you survey in Stoke-on-Trent?
Survey timing in Stoke-on-Trent depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
Can you price timber fire-rated screens in Stoke-on-Trent from photos?
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
