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.
True frameless fire doors are rare; most frameless walls use a slim framed door within the run. We show you the options on drawings.
Maximum heights and the ability to form corners vary by system. Corners may need a post or a specific tested joint.
Frameless glass is exposed during the build. We plan protection until other trades finish.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in St Austell, including the PL25, PL26 districts, and in nearby Truro, Newquay, Falmouth. Truro, around 34 km from St Austell, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so St Austell budgets are not open-ended.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Every quote in St Austell identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
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.
