What's involved with fire-rated glass partitions in Chelmsford
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
- Rated glazed doors and door frames
- Fire-rated partition systems for office fit-outs
- Coordination with your fit-out contractor
Before you order fire-rated glass partitions: what matters
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.
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.
