What's involved with fire-rated glass partitions in Whitehaven
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.
- Single-glazed and double-glazed rated options where tested
- Fire-rated partition systems for office fit-outs
- Manifestation to the impact and visibility rules
- Coordination with your fit-out contractor
What to check before ordering fire-rated glass partitions in Whitehaven
Dilapidations and moves
Demountable systems can be reconfigured, but moving a rated partition means rechecking its evidence and fire-stopping in the new position.
Matching non-rated walls
Non-rated partitions on the same floor can be matched in profile and finish.
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.
