What's involved with fire-rated glass partitions in Houghton-le-Spring
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.
- Manifestation to the impact and visibility rules
- Perimeter and ceiling-void fire-stopping
- Fire-rated partition systems for office fit-outs
- Coordination with your fit-out contractor
Before you order fire-rated glass partitions: what matters
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.
Fit-out sequencing
Rated partitions need fire-stopping inspected before ceilings close. We plan inspection points into the fit-out programme.
