Timber Fire-Rated Screens in Staines-upon-Thames: 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.

  • Hardwood frames to tested sections and densities
  • Fire glass with the specified intumescent glazing system
  • Fire-rated timber doorsets set into screens
  • Fire-stopping to the structure

Rated systems, not just rated glass

Key checks for Staines-upon-Thames projects

Insulating glass weight

Heavier insulating glass may need larger sections; we confirm the frame can carry the chosen build-up.

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.

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.
