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 Revolution 54 partition system has the capacity to accommodate the following levels of asynchronous live load deflection:
Vertical Deflection: ±25mm and ±40mm as standard
Lateral Deflection: ±10mm as standard, ±25mm to special order
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.
Maximum Height
Specification
Taking the above stiffness criteria into account, the Optima Revolution 54 system is available as follows:
Maximum Ceiling Height (12/12.8mm glass): 3000mm as standard.
Greater ceiling heights may be accommodated subject to special order and correct glass selection – see below.

Glass Selection
It is important to select glass appropriate to the situation into which it is being installed. All glass used in Optima glazed systems is
class A safety glass as defined in BS6206. However, there are a number of glass types that fall into this category, some more appropriate
than others in certain scenarios, and these are explained below.

Acoustic Performance
All Optima systems are subjected to sound insulation tests in accordance with BS EN ISO 10140-1:2010 and BS EN ISO 10140-2:2010 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 Optima Revolution 54 partition system has achieved the following UKAS accredited acoustic values for the stated construct:

Acoustic data for combinations with 10/10.8mm glass and aggregated values for screens with door sets is available on request.
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.

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.
