Fire-Rated Glass Partitions in Canary Wharf: what's included
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
- Single-glazed and double-glazed rated options where tested
- Perimeter and ceiling-void fire-stopping

Before you order fire-rated glass partitions: what matters
Fit-out sequencing
Rated partitions need fire-stopping inspected before ceilings close. We plan inspection points into the fit-out programme.
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.
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.

Questions about fire-rated glass partitions in Canary Wharf
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.
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.
