Glass Office Partitions
Our glass partitions create striking office dividers using advanced glazing systems. Available in single-glazed, double-glazed, or fire-rated specifications, these partitions enhance natural light transmission while maintaining acoustic privacy. We offer custom powder coating options and integrated door systems from premium brands like Dorma and Geze. Installations meet rigorous building standards while delivering modern aesthetics suitable for corporate offices, showrooms, and commercial spaces needing both functionality and visual appeal.
Fire Rated Glass Doors
Fire-rated glass doors provide critical fire protection while maintaining visibility and light flow. Certified to BS 476 and EN 1364-1 standards, these doors offer E30 to EI60 fire ratings. Our systems integrate seamlessly with escape routes and staircases, featuring steel-framed constructions with optional logo personalisation. Installed by specialist teams, these doors combine safety compliance with contemporary design for commercial buildings requiring enhanced fire protection measures.
BLAQ Banded Partitions
The BLAQ banded system creates distinctive industrial-style partitions with bonded black bands mimicking traditional crittall glazing. Retaining structural integrity and acoustic performance, these partitions feature powder-coated steel frames and matching door systems. Ideal for modern workspaces seeking visual impact, the design enhances building aesthetics while offering 46dB sound insulation performance when specified with double-glazing configurations.
Acoustic Glass
Specialist acoustic glass solutions reduce noise transmission between 38dB and 46dB. Using laminated glass technology, these systems maintain transparency while improving workplace acoustics. Available in single or double-glazed configurations, they integrate with partition systems to create quiet work zones. Particularly suited to open-plan offices, call centres, and healthcare facilities where sound control enhances productivity and patient care environments.
Office Window Blinds
Integral blind systems designed specifically for commercial windows and partitions. Our 25mm Turnill blinds feature sealed units requiring minimal maintenance, available in vertical, Venetian, or blackout roller styles. These blinds control light levels while maintaining clean aesthetics, with fabric options meeting contract-grade durability standards. Installed by experienced technicians, they provide privacy solutions that complement modern office interiors without compromising on design integrity.

Report
Have known Ian and the team for a number of years, and they've always been professional with every installation they've managed for us. Also referred them to a number of clients who have all thanked me for the recommendation.
