- Rated glazed doors and door frames
- Perimeter and ceiling-void fire-stopping
- Manifestation to the impact and visibility rules

Before you order fire-rated glass partitions: what matters
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.
Fit-out sequencing
Rated partitions need fire-stopping inspected before ceilings close. We plan inspection points into the fit-out programme.
Acoustic privacy
Meeting rooms often need acoustic performance too. Some fire partition systems are tested for both; we confirm the combination.
England regulations that shape the job
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.
