When Is Our Service Needed?

Fire rated glass partitions are essential when designing internal layouts where fire safety is a priority. These systems are crucial in commercial offices, stairways, and corridors where maintaining visibility without compromising safety is required.

They play a significant role in hospitals and educational institutions, where both aesthetics and fire protection are important. These partitions meet stringent fire resistance standards, such as BS 476, providing reliable barriers that prevent the spread of flames and smoke for 30 to 120 minutes.

We use advanced materials like calcium silicate boards and specialised intumescent seals to enhance protection. The integration of double glazing can further improve not just fire resistance but also acoustic insulation, offering a dual benefit in noisy environments like airports or train stations.

Ensure compliance with fire strategy regulations by consulting us early in the design process.
