What to check before ordering frameless fire-rated glazing in Hove
Cost
Frameless fire glazing is at the top of the price range because of the glass and precision required.
Deflection
Channels at the head have to allow for slab movement without loading the glass.
Doors
True frameless fire doors are rare; most frameless walls use a slim framed door within the run. We show you the options on drawings.
Fire glazing rules in England
England Which rules apply?
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
