Frameless Fire-Rated Glazing in Dronfield: what's included

- Frameless-look fire doors where tested
- Head, base and wall channels to the system details
- Handover evidence
- Rated sealant joints
What to check before ordering frameless fire-rated glazing in Dronfield
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.
Height and corners
Maximum heights and the ability to form corners vary by system. Corners may need a post or a specific tested joint.
Cost
Frameless fire glazing is at the top of the price range because of the glass and precision required.
