What should West Glamorgan projects plan for?
City-centre floors in Swansea often come with raised access floors, high suspended ceilings and busy shared lobbies, so we plan deliveries, lift bookings and permits with the building manager before the team arrives.
Smaller floorplates in Swansea make every metre count, so we often recommend glass that keeps daylight moving across the office while still giving managers a private room.
How much do fire rated glass partitions cost in West Glamorgan?
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.
Why choose us in West Glamorgan?
Work around your hours
Evening and weekend installation can be arranged for occupied Swansea offices, keeping disruption to a minimum.
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.
One point of contact
A single project contact handles survey, drawings, ordering and installation, so you are not chasing different trades.
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.
That distinction drives cost. Integrity-only glass stops flames and smoke but lets radiant heat through, which may be acceptable in some locations. Insulating glass contains intumescent interlayers that foam in a fire and keep the far side cool enough for people to pass safely, and it is considerably more expensive. We supply complete tested systems and hand over the manufacturer's test evidence and classification for the specified system, so your fire engineer, Building Control and landlord can see exactly what was installed and how it was tested.

Fire Rated Glass Partitions in West Glamorgan: FAQs
Can you work out of hours at our Swansea office?
Yes. Evening and weekend installation can be arranged in Swansea so the office keeps running. Out-of-hours working usually adds a percentage to the labour cost, which is shown clearly on the quote.
Do you cover areas near Swansea?
Yes. As well as Swansea we regularly cover Swansea, Neath and Port Talbot, plus the rest of West Glamorgan and Wales. Survey and installation teams are arranged regionally.
Do I need fire rated glass partitions in my office?
You need them where a glazed partition forms part of a fire compartment, protected escape route, stair enclosure or similar line in the building's fire strategy. Ordinary meeting rooms in an open-plan floor usually do not. Check with your fire engineer or Building Control; we review the drawings at survey and flag any likely requirement.
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.
