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.
Frameless glass is exposed during the build. We plan protection until other trades finish.
The sealant, joint width and any interlayer in the joint come from the test. Generic silicone in a fire glass joint is not acceptable.
Channels at the head have to allow for slab movement without loading the glass.
Our County Antrim coverage takes in Ballymena (BT42) and the neighbouring towns of Newtownabbey, Carrickfergus, Belfast. Ballymena is about 37 km from Belfast, the largest town in our County Antrim coverage.
If an existing frame in a Ballymena building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
We can phase work in Ballymena around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
