Fire-Rated Glass Partitions
Office glass partitions where the wall has to be fire-resisting.
Learn more →For Maidstone 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.
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.
Maximum heights and the ability to form corners vary by system. Corners may need a post or a specific tested joint.
The sealant, joint width and any interlayer in the joint come from the test. Generic silicone in a fire glass joint is not acceptable.
