Fire-Rated Glass Partitions
Office glass partitions where the wall has to be fire-resisting.
Learn more →We provide frameless fire-rated glazing in Hartlepool and across County Durham, working from the classification your building needs and handing over the evidence that proves what was fitted.

Frameless fire-rated glazing is a glass wall where panes meet edge to edge with a tested sealant joint instead of vertical frames, held in discreet head and base channels. It gives an almost uninterrupted view while still being tested to resist fire.
True frameless fire doors are rare; most frameless walls use a slim framed door within the run. We show you the options on drawings.
Frameless glass is exposed during the build. We plan protection until other trades finish.
Maximum heights and the ability to form corners vary by system. Corners may need a post or a specific tested joint.
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Hartlepool, including the TS24, TS26, TS25 districts, and in nearby Peterlee, Billingham, Middlesbrough. Hartlepool lies roughly 28 km from Darlington, within our County Durham coverage.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Hartlepool budgets are not open-ended.
Sector guides below cover schools and colleges, healthcare buildings and other buildings in Hartlepool.
Each system states a maximum height. We check your floor-to-ceiling height against it during design.
Yes, typically. It also needs more careful site protection.
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
