Frameless Fire-Rated Glazing
Butt-jointed fire glass walls with minimal frames.
Learn more →For Braintree buildings, we supply, replace and check fire-rated glass partitions wherever the fire strategy depends on it, working to the tested system rather than the glass alone.

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.
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.
Meeting rooms often need acoustic performance too. Some fire partition systems are tested for both; we confirm the combination.

Every quote in Braintree identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
We can phase work in Braintree around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
If an existing frame in a Braintree building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
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.
Sector guides below cover care homes, schools and colleges and other buildings in Braintree.
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.
Yes. We can supply and install the rated glazing package within a wider fit-out, working to your programme.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
