Frameless Fire-Rated Glazing
Butt-jointed fire glass walls with minimal frames.
Learn more →If a building in St Albans needs fire-rated glass partitions, the starting point is the rating its fire strategy requires. We confirm that, survey the openings and quote a tested system to suit.

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.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
We can phase work in St Albans around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so St Albans budgets are not open-ended.
Meeting rooms often need acoustic performance too. Some fire partition systems are tested for both; we confirm the combination.
Non-rated partitions on the same floor can be matched in profile and finish.
Demountable systems can be reconfigured, but moving a rated partition means rechecking its evidence and fire-stopping in the new position.
Our Hertfordshire coverage takes in St Albans (AL1, AL2, AL4) and the neighbouring towns of Harpenden, Hatfield, Hemel Hempstead. St Albans is about 11 km from Watford, the largest town in our Hertfordshire coverage.
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.
