- Rated glazed doors and door frames
- Perimeter and ceiling-void fire-stopping
- Single-glazed and double-glazed rated options where tested

Key checks for Tonbridge projects
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.
Fit-out sequencing
Rated partitions need fire-stopping inspected before ceilings close. We plan inspection points into the fit-out programme.
