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.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Cirencester budgets are not open-ended.

You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
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.
Rated partitions need fire-stopping inspected before ceilings close. We plan inspection points into the fit-out programme.
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.
