What's involved with frameless fire-rated glazing in Irvine

What to check before ordering frameless fire-rated glazing in Irvine
Doors
True frameless fire doors are rare; most frameless walls use a slim framed door within the run. We show you the options on drawings.
Deflection
Channels at the head have to allow for slab movement without loading the glass.
Height and corners
Maximum heights and the ability to form corners vary by system. Corners may need a post or a specific tested joint.

Which rules apply to frameless fire-rated glazing in Irvine?
Scotland Which rules apply?
In Scotland, building work needs a building warrant under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004, with fire guidance in Section 2 of the Building Standards Technical Handbooks rather than Approved Documents.
For relevant premises, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 place duties on the duty holder to maintain fire safety measures, which include fire-resisting glazing.
Scottish guidance has its own approach to escape routes and compartmentation, so glazing designs are checked against the Technical Handbooks and the warrant drawings.

Sector guides below cover hotels, retail and leisure units and other buildings in Irvine.
FAQs for Irvine
Is frameless more expensive than framed?
Yes, typically. It also needs more careful site protection.
How tall can frameless fire glass go?
Each system states a maximum height. We check your floor-to-ceiling height against it during design.
Can you price frameless fire-rated glazing in Irvine from photos?
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
How quickly can you survey in Irvine?
Survey timing in Irvine depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
