Frameless Fire-Rated Glazing: an overview for Dyfed

Key checks for Dyfed projects
Protection on site
Frameless glass is exposed during the build. We plan protection until other trades finish.
Height and corners
Maximum heights and the ability to form corners vary by system. Corners may need a post or a specific tested joint.
Deflection
Channels at the head have to allow for slab movement without loading the glass.
Wales rules for fire glazing
Wales Which rules apply?
Building regulations are devolved in Wales, so fire safety design follows the Welsh Ministers' version of Approved Document B rather than the English one, alongside impact safety guidance for glazing.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, so the responsible person must maintain fire-resisting glazing as part of the premises' fire safety measures. The Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed this extends to the structure, external walls and flat entrance doors of multi-occupied residential buildings.
Wales is introducing its own building safety regime for occupied residential buildings, so check current Welsh requirements before planning major works to blocks of flats.
Questions from Dyfed clients
Is frameless more expensive than framed?
Yes, typically. It also needs more careful site protection.
Can a frameless fire wall include a door?
Usually through a slim framed door set into the run, chosen so the combination is covered by evidence.
Is frameless fire-rated glass possible?
Yes, using tested butt-jointed systems, usually with insulating glass. It must be installed exactly to the tested details.

Yes. We take enquiries from across Dyfed, including Llanelli and Ammanford, and arrange surveys to suit your programme.
