What's involved with fire-rated glass partitions in Ampthill
Office fit-outs often only need fire-rated glazing on certain lines, such as corridors that serve as escape routes. We work from your fire strategy to rate only what needs rating, and match the look across the rest of the floor so the design stays consistent.
- Manifestation to the impact and visibility rules
- Coordination with your fit-out contractor
- Single-glazed and double-glazed rated options where tested
- Fire-rated partition systems for office fit-outs

What to check before ordering fire-rated glass partitions in Ampthill
Dilapidations and moves
Demountable systems can be reconfigured, but moving a rated partition means rechecking its evidence and fire-stopping in the new position.
Manifestation
Large glass walls need manifestation so people can see them. Applied film must be compatible with the glass and not cover any marks building control may need to see.
Fit-out sequencing
Rated partitions need fire-stopping inspected before ceilings close. We plan inspection points into the fit-out programme.

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
