Fire-Rated Glass Partitions in Brentwood: what's included

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
  • Single-glazed and double-glazed rated options where tested
  • Rated glazed doors and door frames
  • Perimeter and ceiling-void fire-stopping

Before you order fire-rated glass partitions: what matters

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.

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.

Fire glazing rules in England

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.
