Komfort’s Fire Rated Partitioning Options
Komfort has a continued commitment to providing specialised fire rated partitioning solutions to meet the most stringent fire and safety regulations for commercial and industrial buildings. Our fire rated glass/solid partitioning and glass fire screens meet very high standards of fire safety, but also offer a flexible design solution for dividing a workspace or public areas. Our fire rated partitioning and screens are compatible with Komfort blinds and manifestations.
Defence Fire Screens
Our enhanced E & EI Defence Glass Fire Screens provide up to 120 minutes of protection (also referred to as 2-hour fire rated) to help prevent the spread of fire through a building and aid evacuation. Within a steel structure, Komfort’s Glass Fire Screens can be fitted along with our doors and glass partitions. We also offer curved glass fire screen solutions to add a flare of style to your fire rated partition system. Plus, Komfort’s Defence fire doors have been smoke tested, meeting the classification requirements of Sa (room temperature smoke protection) or S200 (hot smoke protection).
Komfort’s Defence E Fire Screens: Offering integrity performance only, preventing the passage of fire, including flames and flammable gases, but not heat. They offer fire ratings from 30 minutes to 60 minutes, alongside acoustic and structural performance.
Komfort’s Defence EI Fire Screens: Offering integrity and insulation performance, preventing flames and flammable gases as well as the transference of heat to the protected side to meet the highest level of fire protection, offering ratings from 30 minutes to 120 minutes with high acoustic and structural performance.

Fire Ratings – Explained
Fire protection is a critical part of the design of any type of building and interior design. Passive fire protection is a term that encapsulates a range of products that are designed to prevent the spread of fire, protecting a building’s fabric, contents, and – most importantly – save lives.
Compartmentation is the act of subdividing a building using fire-resistant materials (such as fire-rated partitions & fire doors) in order to control/slow the spread of fire and create areas of manageable risk. The fire resistance of a building element, such as fire doors or partition walls, is measured in two ways.
- The first the integrity of the element – essentially how long a fire can be held back. This is denoted with the classification E.
- The second is how long the heat generated by the fire can be held back. This insulation performance is denoted with the symbol ’I’.
The duration of the fire resistance is given in minutes, typically in 30 minute intervals. The fire rating is also commonly shown as two numbers with a / in-between as mention above, for instance 30/30 or 60/60.
Different ratings are used in different applications from offices to shopping centres and more. If you would like to discuss fire ratings and what you may need for your project then please get in touch with our experienced team.
