Fire-Rated Glass Partitions: an overview for Oxfordshire
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
- Single-glazed and double-glazed rated options where tested
- Manifestation to the impact and visibility rules
Before you order in Oxfordshire
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.
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.
Acoustic privacy
Meeting rooms often need acoustic performance too. Some fire partition systems are tested for both; we confirm the combination.
Regulations for Oxfordshire projects
England Which rules apply?
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.
Questions from Oxfordshire clients
Can fire-rated partitions be frameless?
Some butt-jointed systems are tested for fire. See our frameless fire-rated glazing service for what is possible.
Will a fire-rated partition look different?
Frames may be slightly deeper and glass slightly thicker, but most systems are hard to tell apart from standard partitions.
Can you work with our fit-out contractor?
Yes. We can supply and install the rated glazing package within a wider fit-out, working to your programme.
Can you survey anywhere in Oxfordshire?
Yes. We can arrange surveys anywhere in Oxfordshire, including Oxford and Banbury, Abingdon, Bicester, Didcot.
