If your project involves fire safety requirements, acoustic targets or the need for controllable privacy, a standard glass partition will not be sufficient. Our fire-rated glass partitions, acoustic glazing and switchable privacy glass are each developed to meet specific technical and compliance demands without compromising how the space looks or functions.
Clear Partitions
Glass Partitions Built Around Compliance and Performance
Specialist glazing for fire safety, acoustic control and privacy for commercial and residential properties
Where performance glass is used
Corridors, stairwells, lobby areas and escape routes are the most common locations for fire-rated glass partitions. We install regularly in commercial offices, healthcare facilities, hotels and educational buildings where compartmentalisation is a regulatory requirement.
Our acoustic systems go into boardrooms, private offices and home offices where a sound-reduction target is non-negotiable. Switchable glass suits client-facing spaces and treatment rooms where the same area needs to serve different functions throughout the day.
Where two systems are needed in the same installation, we handle both. Tell us what your project requires and we will confirm what is achievable.
Why the right spec matters
Seals, frame construction and glass-to-frame tolerances all affect how a fire-resistant glass system performs under fire conditions.
The same applies to our acoustic systems. The Rw value of the glass is one part of the result. Perimeter seals, door threshold details and how the system ties into the surrounding structure all influence what you actually hear on the other side. We address all of this at the early design stage to ensure a smooth installation and long-term performance.
If you are working to a specific fire strategy, acoustic target or building regulation, share the documentation with us early and our experts will construct around it.
Why we are the right choice…
Performance glass systems rely on more than just the glass itself. Whether the project is working to a fire strategy, acoustic target or specific compliance requirement, getting these details right early ensures the finished system performs exactly as intended. We work closely with contractors, architects and clients to ensure every specification is practical, compliant and fully suited to the environment it is being installed into.
For commercial clients
✓ We specify to your fire strategy or acoustic brief, not to a standard package
✓ Expected Rw performance is confirmed before anything is ordered
✓ Fire certification and compliance documentation provided for building control sign-off
✓ Seals, threshold details and frame tolerances are all specified correctly the first time
✓ Fire, acoustic and switchable systems combined within a single installation
For contractors
✓ Full specification drawings and compliance documentation before you need them on site
✓ Installed by our own expert glaziers who understand performance glass systems
✓ We flag potential specification issues before they become problems during installation
✓ One contact manages the project from design through to sign-off
✓ No delays (when brought in early)

Frequently Ask Questions
What are fire-rated glass partitions?
They are partition systems using certified fire-resistant glass and rated frame assemblies, tested to resist fire for a defined period. Visually identical to a standard installation, the fire resistance comes from the glass composition and frame specification rather than anything visible.
When are compliant glass walls required?
Wherever a fire strategy or building regulation requires a rated barrier. Typically, corridors, stairwells, lobby areas and escape routes. Your fire engineer or building control officer will confirm what applies to your project.
Can fire-rated and acoustic performance be combined?
Our fire-rated glass partitions can carry acoustic performance where your brief requires both. Switchable privacy glass can also be incorporated into most of our performance systems. We confirm what combinations are achievable before finalising anything.
Do your fire-rated partitions look different to standard glass?
No. The fire resistance is in the glass composition and frame construction. The partition looks identical to a standard installation.
Do you install fire-rated partitions in residential buildings?
Yes, where fire safety requirements demand it. More common in commercial settings but we install fire-rated glass partitions residentially in certain building types and configurations.
How much do fire-rated glass partitions cost?
It depends on the required fire rating, frame specification, and installation size. You can use our online calculator to receive an INSTANT estimated cost for your brief.
