What our fire-rated glass partitions service includes in Pitsea

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.

  • Manifestation to the impact and visibility rules
  • Perimeter and ceiling-void fire-stopping
  • Coordination with your fit-out contractor
  • Rated glazed doors and door frames

Key checks for Pitsea projects

Matching non-rated walls

Non-rated partitions on the same floor can be matched in profile and finish.

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.

Acoustic privacy

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

FAQs for Pitsea

Do office glass partitions need to be fire-rated?

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.

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.

How quickly can you survey in Pitsea?

Survey timing in Pitsea depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.

Do you work on occupied buildings in Pitsea?

Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
