Planning fire rated glass partitions in Antrim: local points
For Antrim businesses that share a building, we keep noise, dust and deliveries to agreed windows so neighbours are not disturbed.
Workplaces near Antrim often combine office space with storage or production, which is where solid stud walls, in-plant offices and glazed screens work well together.
What do fire rated glass partitions cost in Antrim?
Insulated EI glass costs considerably more than integrity-only E glass, and the duration, frame system and fire-rated door sets account for most of the remaining range. Typical lead time: 4–6 weeks. Guide prices, supply and install — fixed after a free survey.
What do you get with us in Antrim?
Light through fire lines
Corridors, stair lobbies and compartment walls can stay bright and open while still meeting the fire strategy, instead of becoming dark solid-walled routes.
Work around your hours
Evening and weekend installation can be arranged for occupied Antrim offices, keeping disruption to a minimum.
Landlord-ready paperwork
Drawings, method statements and risk assessments are supplied for your landlord or managing agent's approval.
Evidence handed over
We provide the manufacturer's test evidence and classification for the installed system, so Building Control, insurers and landlords can verify what is in the wall.
Typical fire rated glass partitions projects we see in Antrim include stair and lift lobbies, server and plant room fronts and protected reception areas. We check the required duration and E or EI class against your fire strategy before ordering, so the wall is right first time rather than reworked.

How do surveys work in Antrim?
We cover Antrim along with nearby Ballymena, Newtownabbey and Belfast. Surveys are free and usually take under an hour for a typical office floor.
In Northern Ireland, the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) apply and are administered by the local council's building control team; we flag anything that may need approval at survey stage.
From survey to handover
Book a survey
A member of the team measures the Antrim office, notes access and services, and discusses layout, privacy and acoustics with you.
Drawings and quote
We prepare drawings and an itemised fixed price, adjusting the design until it works for your team and budget.
Production and logistics
Made-to-measure panels are produced and we book deliveries, lifts and parking around your building.
Installation and handover
The team installs, snags and cleans, then hands over the site with any test evidence and care guidance.
Fire Rated Glass Partitions in Antrim: FAQs
How much do fire rated glass partitions cost in Antrim?
Our guide price for fire rated glass partitions is £850–£1,400 per m², supply and install, excluding VAT. The final price for a Antrim project depends on the measured size, doors, glass or board specification and access, and is fixed after the free survey.
Will our Antrim landlord need to approve the partitions?
If you lease your Antrim office, the lease will usually require landlord consent — often a licence for alterations — before partitions are installed. We supply drawings, specifications and method statements to support the application.
What is the difference between E and EI fire rated glass?
E rated glass provides integrity only: it stops flames and hot gases passing through for the stated time but transmits heat. EI rated glass also provides insulation, limiting the temperature on the protected side, so people can pass close to it safely. EI is required in many escape routes and costs considerably more.
How long does a fire rated glass partition last in a fire?
Most office systems are classified for 30 or 60 minutes, written as E 30, EI 30, E 60 or EI 60. The figure is the time the tested system kept its integrity, and insulation where stated, in a standard furnace test to BS EN 1364-1. The duration you need is set by the building's fire strategy.
