Simple Concept, Standout Result — Fire Rated Glass Partition for Tyne & Wear Metro, Newcastle
Aluminium 30/0 (E30) Fire Screen Installed in Gosforth, Newcastle
At Clear Divide Glass Partitions, we’re passionate about creating glass solutions that combine compliance, performance, and design. Our latest project for Tyne & Wear Metro’s new facility in Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne, perfectly captures that philosophy, transforming a straightforward brief into a standout, design led installation.
A Functional Fire Screen with a Creative Twist
This project began as a practical 30-0 (E30) aluminium fire screen installation, designed to meet essential fire safety and performance standards. Fire rated glass partitions like this are an ideal choice for workplaces and transport facilities where visibility and light flow are important, but safety and compliance cannot be compromised.
However, what made this project unique was the creative approach. By incorporating a custom designed glass manifestation, we elevated a standard fire screen into a distinctive architectural feature, proving that safety glass can be stylish as well as functional.
The Installation, Precision and Compliance
Our team managed the project from survey through to installation, ensuring every detail met the required specifications. The aluminium fire screen was fabricated and installed to meet E30 fire rating requirements, offering 30 minutes of integrity protection while maintaining clear sightlines and a highend finish.
This balance of safety, compliance, and design quality is what sets Clear Divide apart in the world of glass partitions and fire rated glazing systems.
The Final Result
The completed installation provides the perfect blend of form and function. What started as a simple fire rated glass screen now serves as a focal point within the space, complementing the modern architecture of Tyne & Wear Metro’s new Gosforth facility.
The bespoke manifestation design adds character, brand identity, and a touch of individuality, demonstrating how even the most functional glass installations can become design features in their own right. Find our more about our Aluminium Fire Screens.
