What's involved with fire-rated glass partitions in West Bromwich

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

Key checks for West Bromwich projects

Fit-out sequencing

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

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.

Dilapidations and moves

Demountable systems can be reconfigured, but moving a rated partition means rechecking its evidence and fire-stopping in the new position.
