Fire-Rated Glass Partitions
Office glass partitions where the wall has to be fire-resisting.
Learn more →For Cwmbran buildings, we supply, replace and check frameless fire-rated glazing wherever the fire strategy depends on it, working to the tested system rather than the glass alone.

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.
Channels at the head have to allow for slab movement without loading the glass.
We cover Cwmbran and the surrounding postcode districts, including NP44. Nearby towns we also serve include Pontypool, Risca, Newport. Cwmbran lies roughly 8 km from Newport, within our Gwent coverage.
If an existing frame in a Cwmbran building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Every quote in Cwmbran identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
We can phase work in Cwmbran around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Building regulations are devolved in Wales, so fire safety design follows the Welsh Ministers' version of Approved Document B rather than the English one, alongside impact safety guidance for glazing.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, so the responsible person must maintain fire-resisting glazing as part of the premises' fire safety measures. The Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed this extends to the structure, external walls and flat entrance doors of multi-occupied residential buildings.
We can survey and quote for offices, retail and leisure units and other building types in Cwmbran.
Yes, using tested butt-jointed systems, usually with insulating glass. It must be installed exactly to the tested details.
Each system states a maximum height. We check your floor-to-ceiling height against it during design.
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.
Survey timing in Cwmbran 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.
