Before you order fire-rated glass partitions: what matters
Matching non-rated walls
Non-rated partitions on the same floor can be matched in profile and finish.
Fit-out sequencing
Rated partitions need fire-stopping inspected before ceilings close. We plan inspection points into the fit-out programme.
Dilapidations and moves
Demountable systems can be reconfigured, but moving a rated partition means rechecking its evidence and fire-stopping in the new position.
