Fire-Rated Glass Partitions
Office glass partitions where the wall has to be fire-resisting.
Learn more →If a building in Maldon needs frameless fire-rated glazing, the starting point is the rating its fire strategy requires. We confirm that, survey the openings and quote a tested system to suit.
Tell us what you need. We reply with next steps and a guide price.
Frameless fire glazing only works within tight, tested limits: specific glass types, joint widths, sealants, channel details and maximum heights. We specify it where the evidence supports your layout, and tell you plainly when a slim framed system is the better route.
Channels at the head have to allow for slab movement without loading the glass.
The sealant, joint width and any interlayer in the joint come from the test. Generic silicone in a fire glass joint is not acceptable.
Frameless glass is exposed during the build. We plan protection until other trades finish.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Maldon, including the CM9 districts, and in nearby Witham, Chelmsford, Rayleigh. Maldon lies roughly 22 km from Southend-on-Sea, within our Essex coverage.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Maldon budgets are not open-ended.
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.
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.
Sector guides below cover schools and colleges, care homes and other buildings in Maldon.
