Overview

About Fire-rated glazed partitions

Glazed partitions are tested as non-loadbearing walls (EN 1364-1) and classified under EN 13501-2; the maximum pane size, frame and fixing details come from the tested system.

Where insulation (EI) is required the glass is a multi-layer intumescent interlayer type; integrity-only (E) glass is used where codes allow.

Integration with fire-rated glass doors keeps one appearance along the whole separation.

Key benefits
