Frameless Fire-Rated Glazing in Carlisle: what's included
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.

- Handover evidence
- Tested butt-jointed insulating or integrity glass systems

Cost
Frameless fire glazing is at the top of the price range because of the glass and precision required.
