What's involved with frameless fire-rated glazing in Portadown

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.

  • Rated sealant joints
  • Handover evidence
  • Tested butt-jointed insulating or integrity glass systems
  • Frameless-look fire doors where tested

What to check before ordering frameless fire-rated glazing in Portadown

Protection on site

Frameless glass is exposed during the build. We plan protection until other trades finish.

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.

Which rules apply to frameless fire-rated glazing in Portadown?

Northern Ireland Which rules apply?

In Northern Ireland, building work follows the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012, with fire safety guidance in Technical Booklet E, approved by the district council's building control.

Once in use, the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 require the appropriate person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing.

Technical Booklet E sets its own provisions for glazing on escape routes, so designs are checked against the Northern Ireland guidance rather than English documents.
