Timber fire-rated screens are glazed partitions made with hardwood frames, glazing beads and intumescent seals that have been tested together to resist fire. They are common in schools, healthcare, heritage buildings and residential blocks where a warmer finish is wanted.
Paint and stain are fine on the timber, but intumescent seals must stay clear of paint. We mask them during finishing.
Heavier insulating glass may need larger sections; we confirm the frame can carry the chosen build-up.
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.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Warwick, including the CV34, CV31, CV32 districts, and in nearby Royal Leamington Spa, Kenilworth, Stratford-upon-Avon. Nuneaton, around 28 km from Warwick, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
