Frameless Fire-Rated Glazing
Butt-jointed fire glass walls with minimal frames.

Fire-rated glass partitions are office-style glazed walls that are also tested to resist fire, used where a meeting room, corridor wall or reception wall forms part of a protected route or compartment. They look like standard office partitions but use rated frames, glass and seals throughout.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Every quote in Hartlepool identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
If an existing frame in a Hartlepool building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
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.
Non-rated partitions on the same floor can be matched in profile and finish.
Rated partitions need fire-stopping inspected before ceilings close. We plan inspection points into the fit-out programme.
Our County Durham coverage takes in Hartlepool (TS24, TS26, TS25) and the neighbouring towns of Peterlee, Billingham, Middlesbrough. Hartlepool is about 28 km from Darlington, the largest town in our County Durham coverage.
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.
We can survey and quote for retail and leisure units, healthcare buildings and other building types in Hartlepool.
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.
Some butt-jointed systems are tested for fire. See our frameless fire-rated glazing service for what is possible.
Building work in Hartlepool follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
