What our frameless fire-rated glazing service includes in Seaham

- Tested butt-jointed insulating or integrity glass systems
- Head, base and wall channels to the system details

Before you order frameless fire-rated glazing: what matters
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.
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.
