What's involved with fire-rated glass partitions in Middleton
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
- Rated glazed doors and door frames
- Perimeter and ceiling-void fire-stopping
- Coordination with your fit-out contractor

Key checks for Middleton projects
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.
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.
