Frameless Fire-Rated Glazing: what you get in Bristol
Frameless fire-rated glazing is a glass wall where panes meet edge to edge with a tested sealant joint instead of vertical frames, held in discreet head and base channels. It gives an almost uninterrupted view while still being tested to resist fire.
- Head, base and wall channels to the system details
- Handover evidence
- Frameless-look fire doors where tested
Key checks for Bristol projects
Protection on site
Frameless glass is exposed during the build. We plan protection until other trades finish.
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.
Cost
Frameless fire glazing is at the top of the price range because of the glass and precision required.

England rules for fire glazing
England Which rules apply?
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.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.
Frameless Fire-Rated Glazing in Bristol: questions
Is frameless fire-rated glass possible?
Yes, using tested butt-jointed systems, usually with insulating glass. It must be installed exactly to the tested details.
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 a frameless fire wall include a door?
Usually through a slim framed door set into the run, chosen so the combination is covered by evidence.
Do you cover all of Bristol?
Yes. We take enquiries from across Bristol, including Bristol and the surrounding area, and arrange surveys to suit your programme.
