Trust & Quality Assurance
Why ModernGlide's FIS
Accreditation Matters
for Movable Wall Solutions
When it comes to high-performance movable walls and sliding folding partitions, trust and quality are paramount. ModernGlide's FIS accreditation is not just a badge — it's a powerful asset for architects, fit-out contractors, and designers seeking reliable, high-spec interior partition solutions.
What Is FIS?
The Finishes &
Interiors Sector
The Finishes and Interiors Sector (FIS) is the leading trade body representing the interior fit-out and specialist contracting industry in the United Kingdom. It exists to promote best practice, drive quality standards, and provide members with the tools, training, and technical guidance needed to deliver exceptional interior environments.
FIS membership is not automatic — it requires a company to demonstrate competency, financial stability, and a genuine commitment to quality and safety. For clients procuring specialist interior contractors, FIS accreditation acts as a pre-qualification filter that separates professional, accountable firms from the broader market.
As Specialists in Acoustic & Movable Wall Installations, ModernGlide's FIS accreditation means every project — from a single sliding door installation to a complex multi-panel operable wall system — is delivered by a company that has been independently assessed and approved by the sector's own governing body.
- Independent assessment of quality, safety and financial standing
- Access to current technical guidance and legislative updates
- Ongoing CPD and training requirements for member companies
- A recognised mark of professionalism in the fit-out sector

Six Reasons FIS
Accreditation Matters

Compliant Installation Practices
From acoustic performance testing to structural fixing requirements, FIS accreditation means installations meet or exceed the regulatory and specification requirements expected on commercial projects.

Reduced Project Risk
Working with an FIS-accredited contractor reduces procurement risk. Clients can be confident in financial stability, insurance requirements, and professional accountability.
