Fire-Rated Glass Partitions: what you get in Bristol
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.
- Coordination with your fit-out contractor
- Fire-rated partition systems for office fit-outs
- Single-glazed and double-glazed rated options where tested

Key checks for Bristol projects
Above the ceiling
A fire-rated partition is only as good as the construction above it. If the wall has to run to the slab, the ceiling void needs fire-stopping or a rated head detail.
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.
Matching non-rated walls
Non-rated partitions on the same floor can be matched in profile and finish.
Regulations for Bristol projects
England Which rules apply?
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.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.
FAQs for Bristol
Can you work with our fit-out contractor?
Yes. We can supply and install the rated glazing package within a wider fit-out, working to your programme.
Will a fire-rated partition look different?
Frames may be slightly deeper and glass slightly thicker, but most systems are hard to tell apart from standard partitions.
Do office glass partitions need to be fire-rated?
Only where the fire strategy says the wall is fire-resisting, for example along a protected escape corridor or a compartment line. Many meeting room walls do not need a rating.
Do you cover all of Bristol?
Yes. We take enquiries from across Bristol, including Bristol and the surrounding area, and arrange surveys to suit your programme.
