Fire-Rated Glass Partitions: what you get in Edinburgh and the Lothians
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.
- Fire-rated partition systems for office fit-outs
- Manifestation to the impact and visibility rules
- Perimeter and ceiling-void fire-stopping
Before you order in Edinburgh and the Lothians
Matching non-rated walls
Non-rated partitions on the same floor can be matched in profile and finish.
Acoustic privacy
Meeting rooms often need acoustic performance too. Some fire partition systems are tested for both; we confirm the combination.
Dilapidations and moves
Demountable systems can be reconfigured, but moving a rated partition means rechecking its evidence and fire-stopping in the new position.
Regulations for Edinburgh and the Lothians projects
Scotland Which rules apply?
In Scotland, building work needs a building warrant under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with fire guidance in Section 2 of the Building Standards Technical Handbooks rather than Approved Documents.
For relevant premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 place duties on the duty holder to maintain fire safety measures, which include fire-resisting glazing.
Scottish guidance has its own approach to escape routes and compartmentation, so glazing designs are checked against the Technical Handbooks and the warrant drawings.
Questions from Edinburgh and the Lothians clients
Can fire-rated partitions be frameless?
Some butt-jointed systems are tested for fire. See our frameless fire-rated glazing service for what is possible.
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.
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.
Do you cover all of Edinburgh and the Lothians?
Yes. We take enquiries from across Edinburgh and the Lothians, including Edinburgh and Livingston, Musselburgh, Bathgate, and arrange surveys to suit your programme.
