Are Glass Partitions Safe?

Yes, glass partitions are safe when they are made from the correct type of glass and installed properly. All glass partitions we supply and install comply with UK safety regulations, including British Standards BS 6206 and BS EN 12150, which ensure that the glass is toughened for safety and impact resistance.

Safety Features of Glass Partitions

• Toughened Glass: Our partitions use toughened glass, which is 4-5 times stronger than regular glass and is designed to shatter into small, blunt pieces if broken, reducing the risk of injury.
• Acoustic and Laminated Glass: For higher safety and noise control, we offer laminated acoustic glass, which includes a protective interlayer that holds the glass together even if it is broken.
• Secure Installation: When installed using the correct U-channels and fittings, glass partitions are highly stable and durable.

UK Glass Safety Regulations

All glass partitions must meet strict UK safety standards. These include:

• BS 6206: This standard ensures that the glass used is toughened or laminated to resist impact and prevent injury in case of breakage.
• BS EN 12150: This standard covers safety glazing materials in buildings, ensuring the glass is heat-treated and strengthened for maximum durability.

Durability and Strength

Glass partitions are not only safe but also durable. The toughened glass used is highly resistant to impacts, making it suitable for busy environments like offices, shops, and homes. For additional strength, our glass partition kits ensure proper installation and stability.
