What's involved with fire-rated glass partitions in Coatbridge
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.
- Rated glazed doors and door frames
- Manifestation to the impact and visibility rules
- Coordination with your fit-out contractor
- Single-glazed and double-glazed rated options where tested
What to check before ordering fire-rated glass partitions in Coatbridge
Dilapidations and moves
Demountable systems can be reconfigured, but moving a rated partition means rechecking its evidence and fire-stopping in the new position.
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.
