What's involved with frameless fire-rated glazing in Reading
Frameless fire glazing only works within tight, tested limits: specific glass types, joint widths, sealants, channel details and maximum heights. We specify it where the evidence supports your layout, and tell you plainly when a slim framed system is the better route.
- Handover evidence
- Rated sealant joints
- Manifestation design
- Tested butt-jointed insulating or integrity glass systems
Before you order frameless fire-rated glazing: what matters
Deflection
Channels at the head have to allow for slab movement without loading the glass.
The joint is part of the test
The sealant, joint width and any interlayer in the joint come from the test. Generic silicone in a fire glass joint is not acceptable.
Protection on site
Frameless glass is exposed during the build. We plan protection until other trades finish.
England regulations that shape the job

Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.

The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
