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.
If an existing frame in a Staines-upon-Thames building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Every quote in Staines-upon-Thames identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Heavier insulating glass may need larger sections; we confirm the frame can carry the chosen build-up.
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.
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.
