Fire-Rated Glass Partitions in Folkestone: what's included

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.

  • Perimeter and ceiling-void fire-stopping
  • Rated glazed doors and door frames
  • Manifestation to the impact and visibility rules
  • Coordination with your fit-out contractor

What to check before ordering fire-rated glass partitions in Folkestone

Fit-out sequencing

Rated partitions need fire-stopping inspected before ceilings close. We plan inspection points into the fit-out programme.

Acoustic privacy

Meeting rooms often need acoustic performance too. Some fire partition systems are tested for both; we confirm the combination.

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.
