PROJECT
QUEEN’S UNIVERSITY STUDENT CENTRE
FIRE GLASS DIRECT SUPPLY AND INSTALL ARCHITECTURAL GLAZING ARCHITECTURAL GLAZING
A rchitectural glass specialists, Fire Glass Direct, designed, supplied and installed fire rated and non fire rated crittall-style partitions to the Queen’s University Student Centre project. Dribond partitions were specifically chosen for this job, mainly due to the flexibility within the range to achieve the various sound, fire and loading requirements, as well as their outstanding appearance. There were some challenges in the design element explained Chirs McGlone, Estimator for Fire Glass Direct, “We had to first ensure that all the screens would meet their specific requirements and secondly that they could be incorporated into the building as practically as possible. Thirdly, they also had to be aesthetically pleasing. “It wasn’t always easy linking all three objectives but with great work from our design team and Felix O’Hare, we
managed to achieve this. A special mention must go to the diligence of our fitting team in this project who left a first- class job.” Fire Glass Direct has been in business since 2004. During this time it has developed a reputation as a supplier of pioneering specialist glazing. Innovation has been the key to the culture within Fire Glass Direct since it began trading. For this reason, it quickly became the market leader in fire and safety glass distribution as well as in office partitions, specialising in the supply and installation of glazing for architects and clients’ specifications. Commenting on the completed project, Chris said, “We found Felix O’Hare to be a great contractor to work with throughout this project and are delighted with the final outcome. We are proud to have played our part in this exceptional building.”
