What's involved with timber fire-rated screens in Wednesfield

- Hardwood frames to tested sections and densities
- Fire-stopping to the structure
- Painted, stained or lacquered finishes
Key checks for Wednesfield projects
Moisture and movement
Timber frames need dry conditions on site and acclimatisation before glazing to avoid movement around the glass.
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.
