What our fire-rated glass partitions service includes in Glasgow
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
- Manifestation to the impact and visibility rules
- Fire-rated partition systems for office fit-outs
Key checks for Glasgow projects
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.

Regulations for Glasgow 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.
FAQs for Glasgow
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.
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.
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.
Which parts of Glasgow do you cover?
All of it: Glasgow, the surrounding area and every district in the G postcode areas.
