Before you order frameless fire-rated glazing: what matters
Cost
Frameless fire glazing is at the top of the price range because of the glass and precision required.
The joint is part of the test
The sealant, joint width and any interlayer in the joint come from the test. Generic silicone in a fire glass joint is not acceptable.
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.
