Timber Fire-Rated Screens in Sutton Coldfield: what's included

- Painted, stained or lacquered finishes
- Over-panels, side panels and borrowed lights
- Fire-stopping to the structure
- Fire-rated timber doorsets set into screens
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.
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.
Finishing
Paint and stain are fine on the timber, but intumescent seals must stay clear of paint. We mask them during finishing.
