What's involved with frameless fire-rated glazing in Runcorn
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
- Tested butt-jointed insulating or integrity glass systems
- Handover evidence
- Frameless-look fire doors where tested
Before you order frameless fire-rated glazing: what matters
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.
Protection on site
Frameless glass is exposed during the build. We plan protection until other trades finish.
Height and corners
Maximum heights and the ability to form corners vary by system. Corners may need a post or a specific tested joint.

Whether the building is in central Runcorn or the wider WA7, WA8, WA88 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Widnes, Halewood, Speke. Warrington, around 12 km from Runcorn, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
