What's involved with timber fire-rated screens in Wednesbury
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-stopping to the structure
- Over-panels, side panels and borrowed lights
- Fire glass with the specified intumescent glazing system
How we work in Wednesbury
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Wednesbury building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Wednesbury identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Evidence you can file
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
What to check before ordering timber fire-rated screens in Wednesbury
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.
Insulating glass weight
Heavier insulating glass may need larger sections; we confirm the frame can carry the chosen build-up.
