Frameless office partitions in Leicestershire: what to know

Partition glass is safety glass because much of it sits in critical locations near floors and doors. In England, Approved Document K sets where glazing must break safely or be protected, and the other UK nations have equivalent guidance, so panels are toughened or laminated to suit their position.

Many partition systems are demountable, so panels and doors can be taken down and refitted when layouts change, which suits leased offices. Most leases require landlord consent for fit-out work, so it is worth checking the lease and any building manager's rules early.

Where a partition forms part of a protected escape route or fire compartment, it must be a tested fire-resistant glazed system, with glass, frame, seals and fixings tested together. Ratings use letters such as E for integrity and EI for integrity plus insulation, followed by the minutes achieved.

In England, large areas of clear glass in offices that people could walk into need manifestation at two levels, 850–1000mm and 1400–1600mm above the floor. Panes less than 400mm wide between frames, or glass with a rail at those heights, are examples the guidance treats as not needing it.

What applies in Leicestershire

Approved Document K requires safety glass in critical locations in England: glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door, up to 1500 mm above floor level, and any glazing in walls or partitions up to 800 mm above floor level.

For shops and other non-domestic buildings in England, Approved Document M covers accessible entrances, and Approved Document K requires large areas of glass that people could walk into to carry manifestation (visible markings).

Leicestershire is inland, around 63 km from the nearest coast at its closest point, so salt exposure is rarely a factor.

City offices often limit noisy work and deliveries to evenings or weekends, require booked goods lifts and need landlord approval for fit-outs. Long glass panels must fit lifts and stairwells, which can affect panel sizes and joint positions.

Glass Partitions in Leicestershire: questions

Do office glass partitions need to be fire-rated?

Only where the partition forms part of a protected escape route, fire compartment or other fire-resisting construction. In those positions it must be a tested fire-resistant glazed system with glass, frames, seals and doors tested together. Your fire strategy or building control body confirms which walls need fire resistance, and we specify systems to match.

Can glass partitions be moved if our layout changes?

Many partition systems are demountable, meaning panels, tracks and doors can be taken down and refitted elsewhere, though some new parts and glass may be needed if sizes change. Fire-rated systems must be reinstalled exactly as tested. If you expect to reconfigure, mention it at survey so we can suggest a system that makes later changes simpler.

How should glass partitions be cleaned and maintained?

Clean the glass with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner, taking care around manifestation films and edges. Check door closers, hinges and seals periodically and have them adjusted if doors drag or slam. Damaged or chipped glass should be replaced rather than left, especially where the glass is fire-rated or in a busy route.

Can glass partitions be fitted while our office is in use?

Often, yes. Work can be phased so one area is fitted at a time, with noisy tasks such as drilling done early, late or at weekends. Glass and tracks are prepared off site, which keeps on-site work shorter. We agree the programme with you and any building manager before work starts so disruption is planned.
