What's involved with fire-rated glass partitions in Leigh
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.
- Fire-rated partition systems for office fit-outs
- Single-glazed and double-glazed rated options where tested
- Rated glazed doors and door frames
- Perimeter and ceiling-void fire-stopping
Key checks for Leigh projects
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.
Matching non-rated walls
Non-rated partitions on the same floor can be matched in profile and finish.

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.

Some butt-jointed systems are tested for fire. See our frameless fire-rated glazing service for what is possible.
