Before you order frameless fire-rated glazing: what matters
Deflection
Channels at the head have to allow for slab movement without loading the glass.
Cost
Frameless fire glazing is at the top of the price range because of the glass and precision required.
Height and corners
Maximum heights and the ability to form corners vary by system. Corners may need a post or a specific tested joint.
