What our timber fire-rated screens service includes in Littlehampton

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.

  • Fire glass with the specified intumescent glazing system
  • Hardwood frames to tested sections and densities
  • Over-panels, side panels and borrowed lights
  • Painted, stained or lacquered finishes

What to check before ordering timber fire-rated screens in Littlehampton

Species and density count

Timber screens are tested with specific species and minimum densities. Softwood substitutions or thinner sections can fall outside the evidence.

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.

FAQs for Littlehampton

Can timber screens be painted?

Yes. The timber can be painted, stained or lacquered. Intumescent seals are kept clear of paint.

Can you upgrade an old timber screen?

Sometimes. If the frame can be shown to be suitable, we can replace non-rated glass and add the correct seals and beads. Where it cannot, replacement is the honest answer.

How quickly can you survey in Littlehampton?

Survey timing in Littlehampton depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.

Do you work on occupied buildings in Littlehampton?

Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
