What's involved with frameless fire-rated glazing in Ripley
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.
- Head, base and wall channels to the system details
- Manifestation design
- Handover evidence
- Rated sealant joints
Before you order frameless fire-rated glazing: what matters
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.
Cost
Frameless fire glazing is at the top of the price range because of the glass and precision required.
Protection on site
Frameless glass is exposed during the build. We plan protection until other trades finish.
