Technishield System 25 & 54 General Specification
Stiffness
The Optima Technishield partition system is designed to withstand the nominal crowd loadings that are likely to be present
in a typical office fit-out and where there is no change in level greater than 380mm between one side of the partition and
the other. The fracture stress of the glass and the integrity of the system should not be breached when subjected to the
following criteria:
Maximum Line Load at 1100mm AFL: 0.36kN/m
Maximum Glass Deflection from Vertical: L/120mm or 25mm, whichever is the least.
No allowance is made for any other simultaneous loads, such as internal wind loads etc. If other loads are required to be
catered for, please consult the Optima Technical Sales Team for advice.
Maximum Dimensions
The Optima Technishield system is available as follows:
Maximum Ceiling Height for Fixed Glazing (15mm Optima Fire Glass): 2850mm.
Maximum Height for 30/0 Timber Door Leaf: 2325mm. Maximum leaf width: 924mm (single leaf only). (Only the Optima
certified door may be used. Contact Optima for details.)
Maximum Glass Module Width: 1000mm.
Fire Performance
Optima Technishield provides 30/0 fire rating as a screen in isolation and when incorporating a 30/0 timber door leaf.
Smoke Performance
Optima Technishield 30/0 door set can provide FD30S for resistance to passage of smoke at ambient temperature. For
further information on door configuration, consult the Optima Technical Sales Team.
Acoustic Performance
All Optima systems are subjected to sound insulation tests in accordance with EN ISO 717-1:1997 at UKAS accredited
laboratories. These are optimised tests of the system only and not aggregate values for screen and door. The result is
expressed as an Rw value.
The Technishield partition system has achieved the following UKAS accredited acoustic values for the stated construct:
37dB (Rw) Test Ref: 542-430 15mm Optima Glass in single glazed multi-module screen
45dB (Rw) Assessed1 15mm Optima Fire Glass + 12.8mm acoustic laminate in double glazed multi-module screen
(1) Independently assessed against UKAS accredited test data.
It should be noted that in an on-site acoustic test, a partition may demonstrate a 3dB to 8dB lesser performance than
under laboratory conditions, depending on the partition type. This can be further affected by ambient noise levels on the
receiving side of the test sample and by poorly insulated abutments offering a ‘flanking’ path for audible sound.
For further information on potential aggregate values for screens with doors, or values for alternative glass types, consult
the Optima Technical Sales Team.
Live Load Deflection

With the increasing trend towards the use of lightweight building materials, Optima recognises the need to cater for the
resulting inevitable live load deflection of both structural slabs and perimeter curtain walling.
The Optima Technishield 25 and 54 partition systems have the capacity to accommodate the following levels of
asynchronous live load deflection:
Vertical Deflection: ±25mm as standard.

Specification
Stiffness
Standards: BS 5234 – Parts 1 & 2
BS 6399 – Part 1
All Optima glazed partition systems are designed to withstand the nominal crowd loadings that
may be present in a typical office fit-out where there is no change in level greater than 380mm
between one side of the partition and the other.
The recognised standard for the design and installation of partitions is BS 5234. However, since
this standard was published, the nature of partition design has evolved to the extent that the
standard no longer accurately represents the product on the market. Part 2 of BS 5234 requires a
series of tests to demonstrate strength and robustness with the results defined as a ‘Duty Rating’.
Unlike the partition types covered in the scope of BS 5234, modern ‘frameless’ glazed partitions
are formed predominantly of glass and the testing regime cannot be reasonably applied.
Instead, Optima uses the known physical and structural characteristics of glass and specifies
appropriate partition glass based on calculation and with reference to BS 6399 – Part 1.
This standard suggests design loads that may act on the surface of a partition in a range of
environments. However, neither BS 6399, nor any other UK standard stipulates the maximum
degree of acceptable deflection under the design loads.
Every project is different and Optima considers each on its own merits and calculates the
type and thickness of glass accordingly. Without a guiding standard the degree of acceptable
deflection is extremely subjective. The Optima recommended criteria for maximum deflection are
L/120 or 25mm, whichever is the lesser value. This is in line with the International Building Code, a
US standard widely applied in many overseas regions, particularly the Middle East. These criteria
will ensure a high degree of stiffness in the partition glass.
A more relaxed set of criteria are commonly applied in the UK. These state that the maximum
acceptable deflection should be L/65 or 50mm, whichever is the lesser value. This would result
in a more flexible partition. Therefore it is important to ensure that the safe stress limit of the
glass is taken into account when specifying type and thickness. This is particularly important
when considering glazed partitions for projects and locations where there is less incentive for the
occupants to exercise care such as Public Sector buildings, particularly schools and hospitals.
Optima will consider both sets of deflection criteria when recommending glass on a project by
project basis and in consultation with designers and specifiers. For further information and advice
on glass specification, please contact the Optima Technical Sales Team.

Glass Entrance Doors and Glazed Screens
• The location of glass entrance doors should be easily distinguished, especially when they are
within a glazed screen and when the door is both open and shut.
• Manifestation should be clearly contrasting with the background in all weather/lighting
conditions.
• Manifestation should be located between 850mm–1000mm and 1400mm–1600mm, i.e. in
150mm high bands which could be a solid band, a decorative feature or split bands of 50mm
each.
• High contrast strips at the top and on both sides of a glazed door in a glazed screen should be
provided.
• If glass doors can remain in the open position, the leading edge should be clearly distinguished
and protected by guarding (entrance doors only) to prevent it becoming a collision hazard.
