What our timber fire-rated screens service includes in Burgess Hill
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.
- Painted, stained or lacquered finishes
- Fire-stopping to the structure
- Fire glass with the specified intumescent glazing system
- Over-panels, side panels and borrowed lights
Before you order timber fire-rated screens: what matters
Species and density count
Timber screens are tested with specific species and minimum densities. Softwood substitutions or thinner sections can fall outside the evidence.
Finishing
Paint and stain are fine on the timber, but intumescent seals must stay clear of paint. We mask them during finishing.
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.

Yes. Hardwood screens are tested to 30 and 60 minutes in many configurations, with the right glass, beads and seals.

Can you price timber fire-rated screens in Burgess Hill from photos?
