What our fire-rated glass partitions service includes in Golborne
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.
- Rated glazed doors and door frames
- Fire-rated partition systems for office fit-outs
- Manifestation to the impact and visibility rules
- Perimeter and ceiling-void fire-stopping
What to check before ordering fire-rated glass partitions in Golborne
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.
Acoustic privacy
Meeting rooms often need acoustic performance too. Some fire partition systems are tested for both; we confirm the combination.
Fit-out sequencing
Rated partitions need fire-stopping inspected before ceilings close. We plan inspection points into the fit-out programme.
