What to check before ordering frameless fire-rated glazing in Plymouth
Deflection
Channels at the head have to allow for slab movement without loading the glass.
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.
