What's involved with fire-rated glass partitions in Inverness
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.
- Perimeter and ceiling-void fire-stopping
- Single-glazed and double-glazed rated options where tested
- Coordination with your fit-out contractor
- Rated glazed doors and door frames

Key checks for Inverness 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.
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.
Matching non-rated walls
Non-rated partitions on the same floor can be matched in profile and finish.
Scotland regulations that shape the job
Scotland Which rules apply?
In Scotland, building work needs a building warrant under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with fire guidance in Section 2 of the Building Standards Technical Handbooks rather than Approved Documents.
For relevant premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 place duties on the duty holder to maintain fire safety measures, which include fire-resisting glazing.
Scottish guidance has its own approach to escape routes and compartmentation, so glazing designs are checked against the Technical Handbooks and the warrant drawings.
What you can expect in Inverness
Scotland rules applied

Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Inverness building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.

FAQs for Inverness

Some butt-jointed systems are tested for fire. See our frameless fire-rated glazing service for what is possible.
Do you work on occupied buildings in Inverness?
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
Which rules apply to fire-rated glazing in Inverness?
Inverness is in Scotland, so work needs a building warrant and follows the Building Standards Technical Handbooks, with the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 covering occupied premises.
