What's involved with frameless fire-rated glazing in Hawarden
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.
- Tested butt-jointed insulating or integrity glass systems
- Head, base and wall channels to the system details
- Manifestation design
- Frameless-look fire doors where tested
What to check before ordering frameless fire-rated glazing in Hawarden
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.
Protection on site
Frameless glass is exposed during the build. We plan protection until other trades finish.

Fire glazing rules in Wales
Wales Which rules apply?
Building regulations are devolved in Wales, so fire safety design follows the Welsh Ministers' version of Approved Document B rather than the English one, alongside impact safety guidance for glazing.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, so the responsible person must maintain fire-resisting glazing as part of the premises' fire safety measures. The Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed this extends to the structure, external walls and flat entrance doors of multi-occupied residential buildings.
Wales is introducing its own building safety regime for occupied residential buildings, so check current Welsh requirements before planning major works to blocks of flats.
